We have been contacted by a holidaymaker who has contracted Salmonella food poisoning whilst staying at the Tasia Maris Hotel in Nissi Beach, Cyprus.
The Tasia Maris is a Thomson Gold Hotel, and is described on the Thomson website as ´perfect for couples looking for a fun-filled getaway, just footsteps from the beach.´
Our client suffered from severe diarrhoea whilst staying at the hotel and he became so ill that his partner arranged a flight home, cutting his holiday short. On his return to the UK, our client was admitted to hospital and diagnosed with Salmonella. Environmental health officials suspect he contracted it from the salad he ate, as his partner did not eat any salad and was unaffected. Our client had to spend 5 days in hospital and is still bedridden.
The holidaymakers were staying on a half board basis but only ate in the hotel.
Salmonella is one of the most common types of holiday illnesses contracted when hygiene standards are poor. If you have contracted any type of gastric illness during a holiday abroad, we can help you claim the compensation you deserve when you return to the UK.
