LONG-TERM EFFECTS DESERVE COMPENSATION
Industrial disease claims centre around an illness or condition caused by an exposure to harmful chemical substances or unsafe conditions in the workplace. This can be the development of a new illness or the worsening of existing health conditions. Examples of industrial disease include lung and respiratory disease, skin disease, occupational cancer, asbestos-related disease, asthma, industrial deafness and much more. Regardless of your profession, it is part of your employer’s role to ensure safety in the workplace. Employees should feel safe and if your employer is at fault for you suffering an injury then you are entitled to claim for compensation.

HOW & WHY SHOULD YOU CLAIM?
Often, industrial disease claims are formed on the basis of injuries that are long-lasting, life-changing and sometimes permanent. The cost of living after this can increase dramatically, factoring in medical/ prescription bills, any loss of earning or accruing care costs. The compensation that could be secured could benefit your livelihood after your accident, as the financial aid could help mitigate some of these costs. Furthermore, it flags the exposure to the people responsible, so they can change the environment and prevent others from having to go through the same experience. It is always worthwhile to explore your options, and we are ready to help!

For your claim to be successful, it is important to prove that you suffered from a disease during your employment, as a result of their negligence. It must also be proved that the workplace environment and the exposure to the harmful substance is the main cause for your disease. Once we have taken some details from you, we will process your claim. Your case will need to be thoroughly investigated so the cause of your disease can be ascertained. We will involve medical experts in the matter to ensure accuracy and thorough checks.
