Holiday Sickness Compensation.
Loophole may increase price of holidays.
In the past 5 years’ claims made against tour operators for food poisoning whilst on holiday have increased by a massive 500%, however the number of cases of food poisoning reported by guests to hotels over the same period has not increased.
The concern is the increase is due to firms switching their attention to holiday claims away from personal injury.
The Ministry Of Justice capped the fees law firms can charge for Personal Injury claims, where as a firm is entitled to charge unlimited fees for making claims through holiday sickness, because it happened outside the UK.
Reports have even been made that claims sharks have been drumming up business outside the hotels.
Making a fraudulent claim is a crime, and anyone found guilty will suffer the consequences of their actions.
Making a legitimate claim for food poisoning is totally justified and perhaps the claims should be higher.
ABTA believe that charges made from claims abroad should be slashed, but that does not tackle the problem of people suffering whilst on holiday, it just reduces a firm’s profitability, also, if the fees are capped perhaps it would reduce the amount of time a firm is prepared to spend on a claim.
The consequences of the situation as it is today may result in increased holiday costs, package operators Thompson and First Choice have already said that they will stop anyone from travelling with them who has made a bogus claim, tough talk about something that is very difficult to prove.
I think it’s all about the claims procedure and evidence, if you want to make a claim it needs to be substantiated and perhaps it’s just about how. The difficulty is making sure you do not exclude legitimate claims just because the claimant has not jumped through the right hoops and obtained the right doctors note etc. does not mean the claim is not a valid one.
If you would like to talk to a solicitor about a holiday claim use the search facility and search travel claims or personal injury.
