Legionnaires Disease on holiday and how to claim compensation

Legionnaires Disease is an uncommon form of pneumonia, which is occasionally contracted by holidaymakers. It is spread through aerosols of water containing the legionella germ, usually through poorly maintained cooling towers or air conditioning systems. The disease can cause serious illness and even death. If you have suffered Legionnaires Disease on holiday abroad or in the UK, Farnworth Rose Personal Injury Solicitors can get you the compensation you deserve.
For most of us, our annual holiday is exciting and fun and something that we have been looking forward to all year. This can be completely ruined if you contract a serious illness on holiday which was preventable and not your fault.

Legionnaires Disease and holiday accommodation

Many foreign countries do not enforce strict health and safety rules and sometimes hotels and restaurants fall short of the standard expected by us.Legionella can grow in any water system that is not properly maintained and if the source of the infection is not detected, it can spread to many people in a short space of time. The time from infection to the start of the illness can be 2 to 10 days, but is usually 3 to 6 days.

The sort of aerosol that allows transmission of legionella is found in wet air conditioning systems, whirlpool spas and showers. Legionnaires can affect all ages, but mainly affects older adults. Breathing in aerosols from contaminated water systems is the usual route for the spread of the infection and to date all studies have shown that person to person spread does not occur.
If you have contracted Legionnaires Disease you may not have become ill until you have returned home. In this case it would be helpful in locating the source of the disease. If you can locate others holidaying with you to see if any of them have also been infected, this will help towards your holiday illness compensation claim.
