Gastroenteritis Compensation Claims
Gastroenteritis is one of the most common illnesses contracted on holiday. It is particularly common on package holidays, where catering staff fail to follow health and safety guidelines. Buffets in particular are a breeding ground for all kinds of disease, including gastroenteritis. Not only will the catering staff be in contact with the food, but every other guest will have access too. At buffets, any guest could touch the food and transfer the bacteria responsible for the illness.
What is Gastroenteritis?
It is also possible that undercooked foods, particularly chicken, can host the bacteria. If you’ve contracted food poisoning, it is important that you seek personal injury compensation. In many cases, instigating legal proceedings for compensation can be the only way to convince the party responsible to change their ways. By beginning a claim for compensation, you could bring the matter to the responsible party’s attention. This can convince them to improve the quality of service they deliver to their guests.

What are the Symptoms of Gastroenteritis?

- Severe Stomach Cramps.

Are There Long-Term Symptoms of Gastroenteritis?
In most cases, gastroenteritis is only a short-term illness. It can, however, result in long-term symptoms and health issues. Food poisoning can lead to the loss of positive bacteria in the colon. This can leave the body vulnerable to other illnesses.
What Bacteria Causes the Spread of Gastroenteritis?
Gastroenteritis is an illness which can be caused by a wide range of illnesses. The most common illnesses of this kind are caused by rotavirus and norovirus. Rotavirus is a common cause of sickness in younger children, while norovirus causes serious gastroenteritis.
Can Food Poisoning Be Fatal?
In some cases, gastroenteritis can be fatal. If you, or a loved one, suffers from a pre-existing condition or has a weakened immune system due to their age, this sickness can be fatal. In most cases, gastroenteritis is a short-term illness.
