Industrial Disease Claims
This category of claim overlaps to some extent with ‘Accidents at Work’. What makes it differ is that in this type of claim the victim is not injured by a one-off event. Instead, the injured person will have contracted a specific illness caused by the work that they were undertaking, the material that they were working with or their working environment generally.
Claims are made mostly where a worker has been exposed to a dangerous substance, a dangerous system of work and/or excessive levels of noise which leave him/her suffering from either short or long term illnesses such as:-
- Asbestosis
- Asthma
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Chronic bronchitis
- Dermatitis
- Vibration white finger
- Industrial deafness
- Silicosis
- RSI (tendonitis)
It is often the case that industrial diseases manifest themselves at a date much later than when the Claimant was first exposed to the hazard. Often the Claimant has left the employ of the Defendant company. This is not unusual and as such our panel of solicitors have extensive experience dealing with a variety of claims if this nature.
If you have suffered an injury as a result of an Industrial Disease, as explained above within the last three years, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation. Please complete the Claim Assessment Form and one of our specialist claims solicitors will contact you to discuss matters.
Please note that our Claims Solicitors act on a no-win, no-fee basis and the legal advice that they give is free.
