Claims typically settle in 2-6 months. 99% settle without court. Just two senior solicitors handle your claim personally — Chris Carter (Director) or David Healey — with direct mobile access from day one.

- You chose a “gluten-free” product that contained lupin as a wheat substitute, triggering a reaction (£1,500-£3,500 typical)
- Staff failed to warn you about lupin despite you informing them of your allergy (£1,500-£3,500 typical)
- You suffered anaphylaxis requiring hospital treatment from hidden lupin (£3,500+ for serious reactions)

Can You Claim For a Lupin Allergy Reaction?
If any of these scenarios sound familiar, you likely have a valid claim:
Hidden in Restaurant Food
Restaurant served bread, pasta, onion rings, or battered foods containing undeclared lupin flour. Most people — and many restaurants — don’t even know lupin is in their ingredients.
The “Gluten-Free” Trap
Bought a “gluten-free” product and had an allergic reaction. Lupin flour is commonly used as a wheat substitute in gluten-free goods — and it’s a potent allergen, especially if you have a peanut allergy.
Peanut Allergy Cross-Reaction
You told staff about your peanut allergy — but they didn’t warn you the dish contained lupin. Up to 44% of peanut allergy sufferers also react to lupin. They should have known this risk.
“I’d Never Even Heard Of Lupin”
Neither have most people — but restaurants still MUST declare it by law. Lupin is one of the 14 allergens that require mandatory labelling. Your unfamiliarity doesn’t reduce their legal duty.
⏰ Time Limit: 3 years from the allergic reaction — but evidence disappears much faster. Restaurant records, staff memories, and ingredient lists can vanish within weeks. England & Wales only (different rules apply in Scotland).
How Much Compensation For a Lupin Allergy Reaction?
Every claim is assessed individually, but here’s what lupin allergy claims typically settle for:
Typical Range
£1,500 – £3,500
Serious Reactions
£3,500 – £10,000+
Based on Judicial College Guidelines | Every claim assessed individually
Your Compensation Takes Into Account:
Physical impact: Severity of allergic reaction (mild symptoms through to anaphylaxis), hospital treatment, A&E visits, ambulance costs, and any lasting effects on your health.
Financial losses: Lost earnings while recovering, medical expenses not covered by NHS, travel costs to appointments, and any ongoing treatment needed.
Psychological impact: Ongoing anxiety about eating out (very common after lupin reactions), fear of trying new foods, loss of confidence in restaurants, and lasting trauma from the experience.
💡 The “Hidden Allergen” Factor
Lupin claims often succeed because restaurants don’t realise lupin is in their ingredients — but that’s no excuse. The law requires them to know and declare ALL 14 allergens. Their ignorance doesn’t reduce your claim. If anything, it demonstrates negligence.

- Day 1 — Free Assessment: Speak directly with Chris or David. We’ll tell you honestly within 24 hours if your lupin reaction is claimable.
- Week 1-2 — We Secure Evidence: Ingredient lists, allergen records, staff statements — before the restaurant “updates” their procedures. You do nothing.
- Month 2-5 — Expert Negotiation: Your senior solicitor vs their insurers. 50+ years combined experience. Most claims settle here.
- Month 2-6 — You Get Paid: Money in your account 14-28 days after agreement. 99% never see a courtroom.
⚠️ Why Lupin Allergy Claims Need Fast Action:
Restaurant evidence disappears fast. Unlike workplace accidents with CCTV, allergy claims depend on ingredient records, supplier invoices, and staff memories — all of which vanish within days or weeks.
What disappears: Daily ingredient sheets get binned. Staff who served you move on. Allergen matrices get “updated.” Supplier records get archived. The meal receipt system purges after 30 days. Earlier contact = stronger evidence = better results.

Your Questions Answered
How much does Carter & Carter charge?
We operate on a No Win No Fee basis. If your claim isn’t successful, you pay us nothing.
If your claim succeeds, our fee depends on the work and risk involved:
Most firms charge the maximum 25% fee regardless of how much work your claim required or how risky it was. We believe that’s unfair. When your claim settles efficiently without court proceedings – meaning less work and less risk for us – we charge less, to be clear, just 10% of your compensation. We pass real savings to you.
About After The Event (ATE) insurance: Since the 2013 rule changes stopped ATE premiums being recoverable from defendants, we’ve steered clear of recommending it for straightforward personal injury claims. Why? Because it’s an unnecessary expense that comes straight out of your compensation. There’s a place for ATE in certain special circumstances, but for most workplace accidents and occupiers’ liability claims, you simply don’t need it. We explain the true position honestly and only advise ATE when genuinely necessary.
Before you instruct us, we’ll explain exactly what you’ll pay in different scenarios. No surprises. No hidden costs. No maximum fees when minimum risk exists.
What if the restaurant says lupin wasn’t in the food?
I’d never heard of lupin before my reaction — does that matter?
