Food Poisoning Claims & Compensation

We specialise in helping victims of food poisoning claim the compensation they deserve.

Food Poisoning Compensation

The effects of food poisoning can range from a few days off work to a ruined holiday abroad, or even several weeks in the hospital. In more severe cases, victims can have lasting effects like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), kidney failure, and lactose intolerance. Young children and the elderly are especially vulnerable.

Food poisoning should not happen, especially in the UK, where safe storage, cooking, and hygiene equipment is readily available. If you do suffer, then contact us to make a food poisoning claim.

What is a Food Poisoning Claim?

Food poisoning compensation claims arise when a person gets ill from eating food contaminated with a dangerous bacteria, the most common of which are salmonella and E-coli. These bacteria thrive in warm, moist conditions, such as uncooked meat. They can also be transferred through poor kitchen hygiene, for example by placing cooked meat on a contaminated surface, or not washing hands before preparing food.

Effects of food poisoning can include:

  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Fever
  • Dehydration

Particularly acute cases of food poisoning can lead to paralysis and death, though this is rare. In addition to covering you in the UK, personal injury law covers you for holiday food poisoning claims, if you have fallen sick while on a package holiday abroad. Additionally, you will be covered if you fall ill from food you have bought at a supermarket.

Food poisoning holiday claims example

An example of a successful food poisoning claim featured a couple who booked a package holiday in Greece. After having an evening buffet, the gentleman fell so ill he needed to be hospitalised and treated for severe vomiting and dehydration.

The holiday company initially denied liability, however further inspection showed the hotel had food hygiene failings and had previous holiday food poisoning claims made against them.

Fortunately, we were able to win the gentleman the food poisoning on holiday compensation he deserved. This was possible because we proved negligence.
