Ill, sick, or had an accident in Cuba? - Claim holiday compensation...
Think of Cuba and a vision of old Havana and the
Caribbean appears complete with psychedelic pictures of Che
Guevara, old style American Buicks and locals playing dominoes whilst
puffing on Montecristo cigars. But what happens if things go wrong?
Holiday illness
Contracting salmonella
food poisoning on holiday because chicken has not been cooked properly or
ecoli because vegetables have not been washed thoroughly are no
laughing matter and certainly illnesses that are avoidable. These bacterial
infections (and other common types such as amoebic dysentery
and shigella) with their symptoms of diarrhoea
and vomiting are very upsetting, ruin holidays and can prove to
be a frightening experience for those who require medical treatment.

if they become ill due to food poisoning or because their hotel was unclean.
Hotel Illness Outbreak in Cuba – We are currently representing
16 holiday makers who became ill with symptoms of vomiting and diarrhoea whilst
on a package holiday at a hotel in Cuba. One member of the party tested positive
for salmonella food poisoning indicating poor food hygiene practices. The illnesses
ruined the holidays. We are proceeding with a group compensation claim on behalf
of the holiday makers who are entitled to substantial award of compensation for
their spoilt holidays including compensation for their loss of holiday enjoyment.
£3,750 Holiday Illness Compensation - Mr A of Colchester who contracted
Salmonella food poisoning has been awarded £3,750 in compensation. Mr A became ill
during a holiday at the Sol Cayo Guillermno Hotel in Caya Guillermno. Thomas Cook
settled the claim out of court.
We carefully monitor hotels in Cuba and our
Hotel-Watch section is dedicated to highlighting hotels we have recently
been contacted about regarding outbreaks of sickness.
Some of the hotels in Cuba we monitor are listed below and most offer all inclusive
package holidays supplied by the largest UK tour operators:

Accident on Holiday in Cuba – Whilst making his way back to his
