People put off claiming compensation for tinnitus due to long term effects

10Aug

Compensation for tinnitus should be made by anybody who feels like they are suffering tinnitus from any spell of employment which did not follow the standard health and safety regulations for their employees. Often, people are put off from making a claim because they feel that the initial damage happened so long ago, that their claim will not stand up suitably. This is the wrong attitude, as not matter how long ago the initial damage was done to the ear drums, an individual may still make a claim.

Compensation for food poisoning soars as more restaurants begin to cut corners

09Aug

UK cities are seeing a rise claims for compensation for food poisoning as restaurants begin to see a greater need for an increase in profits. This is in turn seeing restaurants, both fast food and sit down establishments, trying to prepare food at a faster speed in order to allow more customers to enter their shops.

This is leading to many establishments cutting corners in vital areas of food preparation. This may involve certain foods being undercooked, not being defrosted properly and other mistakes. Fast food restaurants are particularly to blame for this rise in compensation claims, as they are constantly striving for a quicker ‘turn over’ time, especially in busy periods such as lunch time and late afternoons.

64 holiday claims after salmonella poisoning at Costa del Sol hotel

23Jul

Concerns have been raised about the safety of a hotel in a Spanish resort after a number of guests were struck down by food poisoning whilst on holiday, including eight members of the same family. Guests reported that there were poor hygiene standards and the buffet was often not heated through and was open to the elements and passing birds. Many of the guests suffered from food poisoning. Some cases were so severe that they required hospitalisation. A group of 64 people are now putting in a claim for compensation, saying the holiday company should not have advertised a resort known to have problems of this kind.

Holiday claims after water accidents

22Jul

A 33 year old American man died after being sucked underwater by the force of a hotel whirpool in the Bahamas. He was holidaying with his fiancée when the accident occurred. His family is now suing the marketing company of the hotel and the manufacturers of the whirlpool, stating that it should have had an emergency switch off function. Unfortunately, accidents are all too common among holiday-makers. When you’re on holiday, you’re more likely to do activities such as waterskiing and because you’re relaxed and having fun, you may be less safety conscious than you would be at home.
