Holiday Insurance

:confused: MY partner, daughter and I have been away on holiday and took out a standard annual multi trip insurance with Direct travel which we thought covered for the basics of most eventualities, for the most part this was the case that is to say until we tried to sort the problem with the food poisoning that we got on our return flight.

the policy statement said that we were covered to pursue this situation up to £50,000 in a civil suit for injury or death,
but this does not cover a pursuit against an airline or carrier or them selves, and of course this would include the food poisoning on the qatar flight home on the 15th july when this happened.

Is there any one else that has experienced this problem and have a name of an insurance company that covers this type of eventuality ?

regards
Morelle

    Do you have legal cover on your household insurance?

    If not then it might be worth considering no-win no-fee as this is a personal injury type of case.
