Industrial Diseases Claims Guidance


Industrial diseases - Pursuit of Maximum compensation

Exposure to conditions in industrial environments can cause serious illness, sometimes with grave, long-term consequences. However, a workplace illness or industrial disease claim can often be made. Employers in any industry are charged with a duty of care to their employees to ensure minimum risk of exposure to hazard.

Many duties are imposed on employers such as the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH). They exist to enforce compliance. Whilst thousands of people contract illnesses at work each year, a number of high profile cases have seen compensation awarded in industrial disease cases dating back several decades in, for example, coal mining, chemical production and manufacturing. Where we can find evidence of employer negligence, we will pursue a claim for your maximum compensation.


Billions paid out in compensation

It is wise to pursue your claim within three years of becoming aware of your symptoms, but this does not mean that an illness triggered several years ago cannot be claimed for now. Thousands of claims have been brought by employees against their existing or former employers for cases such as industrial deafness, vibration white finger, chronic bronchitis, asbestos related condition and other industrial injuries. Billions have been paid out in compensation.

We will guide you through your options in making a claim, as well as the process of gathering evidence and compiling a detailed work history and medical history. We will arrange the medical investigations needed as evidence and will guide and support you throughout the course of your case, helping you access the available benefits and welfare support.
