Our client, Donna Jobling, 58, from Hull, has told how she is still often unable to get out of bed on many days, 12 months after contracting Legionnairesā disease on holiday in Crete.
Mrs Jobling spent 16 days in an induced coma in Greece, and then weeks in hospital back in the UK. She was diagnosed with Guillain-BarrƩ syndrome (GBS), a rare but serious autoimmune disorder.
Her husband Sid, 70, has effectively become her full-time carer. On the rare occasion she is able to venture out, she needs a wheelchair, as she is unable to walk any significant distance.
As part of a legal claim led by our specialist lawyers at Hudgell Solicitors, representatives of holiday company easyJet is still to confirm whether it is willing to accept liability for Mrs Jobling contracting Legionnairesā disease whilst at the all-inclusive Sergios Hotel in Hersonissos, and the impact it has had on her life.
It has agreed to cover the cost of regular physiotherapy sessions, but is yet to agree to providing occupational therapy support, which has been requested.
