Industrial Diseases

Industrial diseases develop as a result of unsafe work practices and dangerous working environments.

They include:

  • respiratory diseases
  • skin complaints
  • hearing loss and deafness
  • vibration (including white finger) injuries
  • cancer
  • asbestos related diseases

These diseases occur when your employer is in breach of his duty of care to you in failing to ensure that your work environment is safe for you. In such circumstances we can recover compensation for you. 

Industrial disease compensation claims can be complex and we have extensive experience of handling these types of cases ensuring you get maximum compensation for your injuries and full reimbursement of any lost earnings now and in the future and any other financial loss.
