Why you have 3 years to claim compensation following holiday illness

Recently, holidaymakers have been warned that they may only haveÂ one year to make a compensation claimÂ following holiday illness in Spain.

This has led to many holidaymakers panicking or believing that theyÂ could miss out on thousands of pounds in compensation after their holiday was ruined by illness.

However, this is often not the case. Provided that your holiday was booked as a package through a tour operator, you still have 3 years in which to pursue legal action.

Start your claim within 3 years of your illness abroad

The experts at Your Holiday Claims have put together a quick outline of your rights when it comes to making a claim.

Who can make a holiday illness claim?

The Package Travel Regulations 2018 protect package holiday consumers.Â This means that you have fallen ill on a package holiday abroad, you will be able to bring a claim for holiday illness right here in the UK.

If your holiday illness was caused by poor hygiene or food standards in a package holiday hotel,Â you can bring a claim directly against your tour operator with the help of the legal experts at Your Holiday Claims.

So, if unclean swimming pools or undercooked food has led to you suffering a holiday illness abroad, the specialist solicitors at Your Holiday Claims could help you claimÂ thousands of pounds in compensation.
