Claiming After Illness or Food Poisoning on a Cruise Ship

Holiday_Claims_SeaBecause of their confined nature it is not uncommon for large numbers of people to be affected by illness or food poisoning on a cruise ship. The symptoms can occur suddenly (within 48 hours) and include:

  • nausea
  • vomiting
  • abdominal cramping
  • diarrhea
  • fever and chills
  • dehydration
  • and, in the worst cases, nervous system damage

Suffering from such symptoms can ruin your holiday, leave you badly out of pocket, have lasting effects on your health and cause serious problems well after your cruise is over. That is is why it's crucial you make a claim for compensation as soon as possible, whether it be after an airborne disease like Norovirus or food poisoning on a cruise from contaminated food and drink. We can help you claim if you have been a victim of:

  • Norovirus
  • E-Coli
  • Salmonella
  • Listeria
  • Gastroenteritis

To make a cruise ship compensation claim for illness or food poisoning it is vital to prove the source of the outbreak was on the ship. You also have two years from suffering the illness on a cruise to getting the matter to court so the earlier you seek advice from a solicitor the better.

 

Claiming after and accident and injury on a cruise ship

If you have an accident on a cruise ship you have two years from the date of the accident to make your claim. If the accident or illness was suffered in international waters, it is likely that the claim will be covered by the Athens convention and our solicitors have helped people make personal injury compensation claims for an accident on cruise ships and other sea going vessels such as:

  • Cruise Ships
  • Boats
  • Ferries
  • Jet Skis
  • Yachts
  • Dinghies
  • and other accidents at sea

Many cruise compensation claims can be brought in the UK courts, even if the accident happened in a foreign country or at sea, but you usually have a 2 year limitation period so the first thing should be to speak to a specialist holiday claim solicitor.
