Accident and Illness Compensation Claims – Cape Verde Islands


A captivating blend of cultures, these tranquil islands are crammed full of character and are blessed with endless snow-white sands. The Cape Verde Islands are located off the coast of West Africa and claim to be Africa’s own Caribbean islands.


Holiday compensations claims are pursued against UK tour by many holiday-makers every holiday season. The types of claims vary, ranging from trips, slips and falls to major outbreaks of holiday sickness caused by bugs, such as salmonella, e-coli, and cryptosporidium.


Fortunately, there are laws in the UK to protect those who have suffered from a holiday accident or illness, and you may be able to claim compensation. We are noticing a rise in the number of holiday compensation claims from British holiday-makers returning from the Cape Verde islands.


  • Have you experienced a debilitating bout of sickness?
  • Suffered from food poisoning caused by poor standards of hygiene?
  • Slipped, tripped or fallen – injured in an accident which was not your fault?
