Industrial Disease Claims

Our specialist team of Personal Injury solicitors can provide the highest level of representation if you should need to pursue a claim for an Industrial Disease in any of the following areas:

    •    Asbestosis and other asbestos related diseases
    •    Hearing problems, industrial deafness and tinnitus
    •    Respiratory conditions including cccupational asthma
    •    Mesothelioma
    •    Pleural thickening
    •    Skin diseases
    •    Vibration white finger
    •    Repetitive strain injuries

Industrial disease claims are often the result of expose to hazardous substances or unsafe working conditions over many years. These health implications of such working conditions can be very severe in the longer term – for example, the Health and Safety Executive estimates that around 3,000 people die each year as a result of exposure to asbestos products in the workplace.

Our expert team will undertake a thorough review of your employment history, gathering detailed information around working conditions and health and safety precautions in the workplace, together with your recollection of any training or safety precautions in place to ensure your well being. Our experts are well versed in understanding how industrial diseases may relate to your occupation – indeed many of our clients are unaware of how their jobs may have affected their health later in life. As an example, many people who have worked with vibrating tools may suffer numbness, pins and needles and a reduced range of movement  of the fingers and hands, without realising their job would have been a significant contributing factor.

Our expert team will work tirelessly on your behalf to secure the compensation you deserve. Even if your former employer is no longer in business, there may be routes to secure the compensation you deserve. At all times our experts will keep you informed of progress, and remove the hassle from the process, keeping things as simple as possible. What’s more we won’t charge you a penny for our services – our legal costs are recovered on top of the compensation we win for you and we don’t take any percentage from your compensation. We firmly believe this is money you deserve and should receive in full.
