Industrial Disease Claim

We cover industrial diseases in the following areas:

1. Asbestos Disease Compensation Claims
2. Mesothelioma Claim
3. Vibration White Finger
4. Respiratory Disease
5. Skin Diseases
6. Industrial Deafness / Tinnitus

Industrial diseases attributable to conditions of employment include asbestos related diseases, other respiratory diseases, vibration white finger, skin diseases, industrial deafness and tinnitus. The Health and Safety Executive estimate that approximately three thousand workers die each year as a result of exposure to asbestos products.

Very often industrial disease results from exposure to a substance or an unsafe working practise over a period of many years. An industrial disease claim can often involve the detailed investigation of an individual’s working history.

Many industrial disease claimants are unaware that their health problems relate to their occupation. By way of example those who have worked with vibrating tools may suffer numbness, pins and needles, and reduced dexterity of the fingers and hands without understanding the connection with their occupation.
