64 holiday claims after salmonella poisoning at Costa del Sol hotel

23Jul

Concerns have been raised about the safety of a hotel in a Spanish resort after a number of guests were struck down by food poisoning whilst on holiday, including eight members of the same family. Guests reported that there were poor hygiene standards and the buffet was often not heated through and was open to the elements and passing birds. Many of the guests suffered from food poisoning. Some cases were so severe that they required hospitalisation. A group of 64 people are now putting in a claim for compensation, saying the holiday company should not have advertised a resort known to have problems of this kind.

City cyclist gains compensation for road traffic accident

22Jul

Cyclists often feel intimidated about making a road traffic accident compensation claim. This is mainly due to general (unfair) perception of cyclists – that they often cause accidents on British roads. This is actually not the case at all, and should not dissuade people from making a traffic accident claim.

If a cyclist is involved in an accident and it is not their fault, then they are entitled to compensation, just as much as a motorist is. Cyclists should remember this if they are ever involved in an accident.

A 33 year old American man died after being sucked underwater by the force of a hotel whirpool in the Bahamas. He was holidaying with his fiancée when the accident occurred. His family is now suing the marketing company of the hotel and the manufacturers of the whirlpool, stating that it should have had an emergency switch off function.
