If you, or a family member are unfortunate enough to be affected by food poisoning as a result of another person’s negligence, you may be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim for the pain and suffering you have endured as a result. You may even be able to make a claim for compensation if you contracted the food poisoning while you were abroad on a package holiday. In addition to being compensated for the general pain and suffering, you are also entitled to claim for time off work, lost wages and the cost of medical treatment and medicines.

Evidence

It is important that you retain any evidence you may have which supports your food poisoning claim and ensure that when you visit your GP / Hospital for treatment you mention the suspected cause of your illness to your doctor and involve the Environmental Health Department if necessary. Please keep restaurant, café or supermarket receipts and if possible any packaging together with any letters or documents relating to the events and the names and addresses of any witnesses. Also remember to retain evidence of any personal injury related expenses such as receipts for prescriptions or medication and evidence of travelling expenses.

Symptoms

Over 500,000 people suffer from serious food poisoning in the UK every year and over four million others suffer from less severe food poisoning symptoms which may include diarrhoea, vomiting, fever, stomach cramps, nausea and fatigue. In most cases both health problems and food poisoning symptoms last for only a few days, however, in other cases the problems can be more serious and long lasting particularly if the victim is very old or very young. Numerous fatalities occur every year in the UK as a result of infection by E-coli and salmonella.
