Simpson Millar LLP Solicitors has had to recruit extra staff to deal with the number of compensation claims from people who have fallen ill or had an accident in Turkey.
All-inclusive package holidays to Turkish resorts including Dalaman, Bodrum, Altinkum, Marmaris, Gumbet and Olu Deniz are becoming ever more popular, yet hygiene and health and safety standards in countries such as Turkey leave a lot to be desired and many holidaymakers are falling ill with food poisoning bugs like salmonella, E coli, cryptosporidium and campylobacter. Others have suffered serious ear infections from swimming pools that haven’t been properly maintained.
It is the Tour Operator’s responsibility to ensure that the all-inclusive holiday deals they sell for destinations like Turkey and Egypt meet certain standards. So, holidaymakers who fall ill on holiday or suffer an accident that was no fault of their own are entitled to claim compensation.
Simon Lomax, Simpson Millar’s Holiday Accident and Illness Claims Manager, says: “Tour Operators are bracing themselves for an increase in holiday compensation claims as travelers return from hotels in Turkey sick or injured.”
"Given Turkey’s popularity in Summer 2009 I had expected UK tour operators to have raised health and safety standards and get to grips with hygiene issues in Turkish hotels. However, the opposite has occurred, and Simpson Millar LLP's Holiday Compensation Claims Team has now had to recruit new staff to deal with the ever increasing volume of accident, injury and sickness enquiries from Turkey."
Simpson Millar LLP’s specialist holiday illness and accident solicitors routinely recover substantial compensation claim sums for people who have been taken ill on holiday or had an accident abroad. What’s more, if the firm takes on a compensation claim case they offer the holidaymaker a £250 bonus payment no matter what the result of the compensation claim case. (NB: The client must quote the code "claim250" when initially speaking with our advisors in order to qualify)
Simon Lomax and his team are ready for a fresh influx of claims from people returning from Turkey where they have fallen ill or had an accident. At least with Simpson Millar LLP, they will finally be in safe hands.
