Industrial disease and illness claims
If you become ill as a result of your job, we’ll help you get the compensation you deserve
While working conditions are generally much safer these days, employers are essentially still learning about the effects of materials and substances and how to work with them safely. Unfortunately, it’s people like you who often suffer the consequences of their mistakes.
Chemicals and powders are used daily in many jobs and their ill effects may not be known for many years. Yet the resulting illnesses and diseases they cause may last a lifetime. For example, people exposed to asbestos tend to remain healthy for 30 years or so, until the fibres they’ve inhaled begin to cause health problems.
Working conditions, such as noisy machinery or vibrating hand-held tools can also cause health issues, such as industrial deafness or vibration white finger.
