Stephen Gougeon, 38, was enjoying his holiday with wife April, 41, and son Oliver, eight, at Viva Dominicus Beach by Wyndham Resort in December 2023, when they were struck down with the fatal illness.
She added: "The Gougeons are taking action against the companies whose negligence allowed this to happen, not only to get answers and realise a sense of justice for themselves but to shine light on these events, effect change in the failed processes and procedures and ideally protect other vacationers from having to experience anything similar.
A father whose wife and young son died from food poisoning one day into their holiday has spoken of the heartbreaking moment he flew home without them.
According to a coroner's report, April and Oliver Gougeon died due to secondary causes related to food poisoning, reports the Express US.
In a lawsuit, Stephen Gougeon alleged unsanitary conditions in the food preparation areas, lack of timely medical treatment, and staff being untrained to deal with emergencies at the resort.
