I suffered an allergic reaction after eating a meal which I had been told did not contain sesame. How much compensation should I expect?
I had an allergic reaction and had to spend the afternoon at the A&E and the next day at home. The person who was serving me assured me that there was no sesame in the meal I had chosen. Right after lunch, when the first symptoms developed I asked the manager who checked again and confirmed that the meal did actually contain sesame. I know I can ask for compensation, how much should I expect?
Assuming that this unpleasant episode has not resulted in any lasting injury I do not think a Court would be likely to award you more than £500 in these circumstances together with any actual losses you have sustained - such as loss of earnings because you could not work for one day for example.
