Industrial Disease

Our solicitors advise on a wide range of industrial disease compensation claims, including:

• Asbestos-related disease claims
  Claims involving conditions such as asbestosis and pleural thickening, both caused by prolonged exposure to asbestos fibres. These cases commonly arise from work in industries such as construction, shipbuilding, insulation, and manufacturing.
  
  
• Mesothelioma claims
  Compensation claims for mesothelioma, a serious cancer linked to asbestos exposure. The condition often develops decades after exposure, with symptoms commonly appearing many years later.
  

   

• Silicosis claims
  Claims arising from exposure to crystalline silica dust, frequently encountered in occupations such as stone masonry, sandblasting, construction, demolition, ceramics, and glass production. Long-term exposure can result in permanent lung damage and breathing difficulties.
  

   

• Work-related upper limb disorder (WRULD) claims
  Including conditions such as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), carpal tunnel syndrome, and repetitive strain injuries such as tennis elbow.
  

   

• Workplace stress claims
  Claims relating to excessive workplace stress that has caused or contributed to physical or psychological injury, where employers have failed to meet their duty of care.
  

   

• Industrial deafness claims
  Also known as noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL), these claims arise from prolonged exposure to unsafe noise levels at work, potentially resulting in permanent hearing loss, tinnitus, or acoustic shock.
