Making your claim

Diseases of this type can be very serious and can have a long-term impact on your health. If you have fallen ill because of an environment in which you have worked, it is only right that you should be able to make a claim to compensate for what you have been through.

We are here to offer the advice you need throughout the process, undertaking a collaborative approach to give you the best chance of getting the outcome you are after. We are committed to every case and accountable for our actions. 

The different types of industrial disease

There are various illnesses and diseases that are caused due to exposure in the workplace. Some of the most common claims include:

• Asbestosis and Mesothelioma claims
• Respiratory disease claims
• Industrial deafness claims
• Vibration-induced white finger claims
• Repetitive strain injury
• Skin conditions, such as dermatitis
• Asthma
• Occupational cancers
• Fume or dust exposure

If you have suffered any of the above and believe this may be as a result of your work or workplace, making a claim for compensation can help ease the suffering caused and help to ensure you have access to any treatment or equipment that may help your situation.

The regulations

In most cases you must make an industrial disease claim within:

• Three years from the date that you first suspect your illness is a result of your employment
• Three years from the onset of your symptoms

This does not mean, however, that an illness triggered more than three years ago cannot be claimed for now. Also, if you had a pre-existing condition, such as occupational asthma or a skin disease, it is possible you can make a claim if this condition was worsened by your employer.
