Amazing experience
After placing an enquiry, I received a call 20 minutes later, and then 2 hours later, I had a solicitor assigned to me. They were absolutely incredible right from the word go - amazing and very prompt with replies, answering all my questions and keeping the process moving. We finally completed today and I am so unbelievably happy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Lawhive again in the future if needed.
Lily
First class service
I initially made an online enquiry about a tricky conveyancing matter and received an immediate call back. They understood straight away what was needed and gave me a quote that was very reasonable. It was such a pleasure to find someone who was cheerful, professional and completely reassuring as I’d been getting quite anxious about the sale of my house. The service Lawhive has provided is absolutely first class and I cannot recommend them enough.

Great service when you need clarity and calm
Our solicitor was warm, friendly and provided crystal clear communication. A lot of conveyancers assume customers know everything about the process already, so it was really appreciated to hear each stage included in the price given.

01 overview
Getting sick on holiday doesn’t just ruin your trip - it can leave you dealing with serious health issues long after you’re home. Hotels, tour operators, and restaurants all have a duty to keep you safe. If they’ve let you down, our expert solicitors are here to help you make a claim.
| Assessing your claim | Our holiday sickness claim solicitors start by diving into the details of your case to check if it’s valid. From there, they’ll estimate how much compensation you might be entitled to. This could depend on factors like time spent in hospital, how your illness has impacted your life, and whether it’s affected your earnings once back home. |
| Negotiating with travel companies and insurers | Our solicitors can handle negotiations with travel companies and insurers on your behalf. They’ll use your evidence - things like medical records, receipts, and witness statements - to build a strong case and push for a fair settlement. |
| Representation in court | If negotiations don’t lead to a resolution, we’ll take things further. Our litigation solicitors can represent you in court, presenting your case clearly and confidently. They’ll work to secure the compensation you deserve and make sure the travel company or insurer pays what they owe. |
At Lawhive, we’re here to make legal support simple and stress-free. With a network of expert holiday sickness claim solicitors across the UK, we’ll quickly match you with the right specialist to help you get the compensation you deserve.

Holiday sickness claims aren’t one-size-fits-all. Every case is different, and we know you’ve probably got plenty of questions. That’s why we spoke to over 20 of our expert claim solicitors to find out the most common questions they hear from clients. Here’s what they had to say:
"If you've become ill due to negligence of a venue's health and safety, you could be eligible for a claim. You'll need to provide proof of illness. Common examples include a doctor's note or hospital record that you were affected during the holiday. Plus, you'll need to show evidence that the illness was due to the conditions of the venue (like unsanitary conditions or contaminated food at the accommodation)."
"Three years is generally the cut-off period for claiming holiday sickness and the claim must be before this point. The time limit can vary depending on the company and country where you visited. It can be harder to gather medical records and statements from witnesses the longer you leave it. When you want to make a holiday sickness claim, you need to gather evidence and make the claim quickly."
Most holiday sickness claims stem from hygiene issues. Here are some common examples:
You can claim against a number of different business types. These might include:
Here are the main steps involved in pursuing a holiday sickness claim:
The first thing our solicitors will do is assess the circumstances of the illness. They will arrange an initial consultation which will let them assess the case to see if their client is eligible. They will also review the available evidence that the client has, whether that is medical records or photographs. This can confirm eligibility for the personal injury claim and whether the client can take the next step of claiming compensation.
The next step is to build a case by collecting any evidence available. These essential documents will be gathered which will include medical records and any hotel photographs that will support the case. Our solicitors can help to secure the necessary documentation including any proof of conditions that lead to the illness.
Once the evidence has been gathered, the claim to the tour operator or venue will be submitted. This is a formal document that will outline the illness, the cause of this and how it has impacted the client. A deadline will be made for the travel operator to respond to this claim and evidence will be provided to support the claim.
There will be negotiations with the tour operator or insurance company. Our solicitors will lead discussions for the client and put a thorough case ahead with the evidence. The settlement will be discussed to help reach fair compensation for the client. Negotiation is a great way to settle without needing court intervention.
Solicitors will help to represent clients in court if this action is required. If negotiation fails and the operator or insurer refuses compensation, our solicitors will present a strong case for damages in court. They will represent the client using their experience to help obtain compensation for their client.
Falling ill on holiday can ruin your trip - and dealing with the aftermath might feel like another headache. But you don’t have to face it alone. If your illness was caused by someone else’s negligence, there are legal steps you can take to get the compensation you deserve.
