Industrial Diseases Legal Services
Should you become ill as a result of your job or work environment, our Industrial Disease team can help you. Our specialist team has experience in a wide variety of industrial disease claims including: - mesothelioma and other asbestos-caused diseases - other chest or respiratory conditions such as industrial or baker's asthma caused by dust or chemicals etc. - noise-induced hearing loss and tinnitus (noises in the ears) - repetitive strain type injuries, including Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and other hand, wrist, arm, elbow or shoulder conditions - cumulative back injuries - hand arm vibration syndrome (this used to be known as 'vibration white finger') - dermatitis or other allergic reactions You should enquire sooner rather than later about these types of claims as time restraints apply. As a result of this, the longer you leave your claim the more difficult it might be to pursue. Usually the onset of these conditions is quite slow - At first, sufferers don't think there's a problem but time may be starting to run already even from before your doctor may have seen you or given a diagnosis. Often the exposure leading to the condition happened a long time ago. Nevertheless, our solicitors are experienced in tracing old companies or institutions and their insurers. If you have any old documents, such as apprenticeship deeds, payslips, contracts or letters on headed company paper, you should keep them as they may be very helpful for your case.
