• Asbestos poisoning and mesothelioma
• Exposure to dyes and chemicals resulting in bladder cancers
• Brain injury claims as a result of solvent inhalation
• Skin conditions, like dermatitis, arising from irritants in the workplace
• Vibration White Finger due to working with industrial machinery
• Occupational asthma
• Cancer in the lungs or nasal problems from dust exposure

This is just a short selection of scenarios where workers have asked us to help them with industrial disease claims. Even if you don’t see your condition listed, please still call us. We will discuss the details of your situation so we can help you to win compensation as quickly as possible.

Asbestos Exposure Claims

Despite changes in the law many years ago regarding asbestos, we still manage many no win, no fee * asbestos claims for people who have been affected earlier in their working lives. If you have been diagnosed with asbestosis or mesothelioma, then we can support you in making an industrial disease claim. One designed to help support you and your family.

Mesothelioma

Our mesothelioma solicitors ** will guide you or your family on the best course of action, and will work tirelessly to achieve the most amount of industrial disease compensation possible. Mesothelioma claim amounts can vary from case to-case, so we recommend a consultation which can be arranged-over the telephone with our lawyers **. Sometimes this has to be completed after a death caused by said Mesothelioma, so we will work diligently with the affected person’s family.

Your Employer’s Responsibility Regarding Industrial Disease

At the core of any industrial disease claim is the act of apportioning responsibility and blame. All employers in the UK are legally required to protect their workers against the risk of industrial disease with preventative and protective measures.

If we find that your employer has failed in their responsibilities and are to blame for your illness, then we can proceed with making an industrial disease claim on your behalf.

Even if you have been paid to work in conditions where your health was knowingly at risk, then we will be able to take action against them. Often we find that employers have failed to adhere to UK health and safety legislation, which in turn has led to their staff becoming ill. This is where the bulk of industrial disease claims arise.

Our industrial disease solicitors ** will assess your case and look at all the evidence, and then proceed to get compensation awarded that will cover off all damages incurred – both mental and physical. This will include aspects such as medical costs, travel costs, expenses incurred, and other monies that could be owed. The industrial disease claims process is designed to ensure that your life is as close to what it was before your illness as possible.
