Kate Salter’s £3,500 Bed Bug Victory against TUI Blue Los Gigantes
When Kate Salter booked her dream vacation to the TUI Blue Los Gigantes in Tenerife for September 2023, she imagined two weeks of relaxation under the sun. Instead, the holiday turned into a nightmare when Kate encountered a bed bug infestation that left her covered in bites, distressed, and out of pocket. Thanks to the expert guidance of Michael Walker from the Holiday Claims Bureau, Kate secured £3,500 in compensation for her ordeal.
The Incident: Bed Bugs and a Ruined Holiday
Just two days into her holiday, Kate noticed bites on her shoulder. Initially dismissing them as mosquito bites, she soon realized the issue was far more serious. By September 7th, after waking to find bed bugs crawling in her bed, her discomfort escalated into distress. Despite moving to another room, the bites and the psychological impact persisted.
Kate’s holiday was irrevocably disrupted. She spent valuable time seeking medical treatment, reporting the issue, and fumigating her belongings. “I couldn’t enjoy my holiday,” Kate recalls. “I was itching constantly, couldn’t sleep, and spent hours trying to ensure I didn’t bring the infestation home.”
Seeking Justice: Holiday Claims Bureau instructed
After returning to the UK, Kate sought legal action and instructed us to pursue a bed bug claim on her behalf. Michael Walker, a specialist in holiday claims, quickly identified that TUI Blue Los Gigantes had failed to uphold basic hygiene standards. Armed with evidence, including Kate’s medical records and photographs, Mr Walker filed a strong claim on her behalf.
“Michael was incredible,” Kate says. “He explained everything clearly and fought tirelessly for my case. I wouldn’t have known where to start without his help.”
The Outcome: Compensation and Closure
TUI initially denied responsibility, but Michael’s expertise ensured the claim was taken seriously. After months of negotiation, Kate was awarded £3,500 in compensation for the physical and psychological impact of her ordeal.
“This victory isn’t just about the money,” Kate shares. “It’s about holding companies accountable and ensuring others don’t suffer the way I did.”
Kate’s experience highlights the importance of reporting issues promptly, documenting evidence, and seeking professional advice. Her case demonstrates how legal experts like Michael Walker can make a significant difference in achieving justice.
“I’m so grateful to Michael and the Holiday Claims Bureau,” Kate concludes. “They turned a terrible experience into a positive outcome. I can finally put this behind me and move forward.”
