Common Types of Industrial Injury Claims
Asbestos and Mesothelioma Claims
Exposure to asbestos can cause devastating conditions such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. These illnesses often develop years after exposure. We help clients and their families secure compensation for treatment, care, and financial support.
Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
Working in loud environments without proper protection can lead to permanent hearing damage or tinnitus. We pursue claims to cover hearing aids, therapy, and the wider impact of hearing loss on your life.
Vibration White Finger and HAVS
Prolonged use of vibrating tools can cause vibration white finger and hand-arm vibration syndrome. We act for clients whose employers failed to provide safe equipment, training, or breaks to limit exposure.
Occupational Asthma
Dust, fumes, and chemicals in the workplace can trigger asthma and other respiratory conditions. We build claims to cover treatment, loss of earnings, and the lifestyle restrictions that follow.
Repetitive Strain Injury
Repetitive tasks and poor working practices can lead to painful, long-term conditions. We work to secure compensation for treatment, adaptations, and the effect on your ability to work.
Skin Disease and Dermatitis
Exposure to hazardous substances without proper protection can cause dermatitis and other skin conditions. We hold employers responsible for failing to protect their workers.
Lung Disease and Respiratory Illness
Prolonged exposure to harmful dusts or fumes can cause chronic lung conditions. We pursue claims to reflect the serious impact these illnesses have on health, work, and quality of life.
Chemical Exposure
Industrial environments often involve harmful chemicals. Where exposure has caused burns, poisoning, or long-term illness, we work with medical experts to prove the link and secure fair compensation.
Slip, Trip and Fall Claims
Slips, trips, or falls in the workplace can lead to serious injuries such as fractures, head injuries, or back problems. We act on behalf of workers injured due to unsafe floors, poor maintenance, or inadequate safety procedures.
Machinery-Related Claims
Accidents involving machinery can cause severe injuries, often due to a lack of training, faulty equipment, or missing safety guards. We help clients pursue claims against employers who failed tomaintain or supervise machinery correctly.
Your Right to Industrial Injury Compensation
If your illness or injury was caused by unsafe working practices or negligence, you are entitled to pursue compensation.
Industrial injury claims must consider not only your current position, but also the long-term consequences.
Compensation may include:
-
Medical treatment, rehabilitation, and therapy
-
Lost income and reduced future earnings
-
Pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life
-
Care, assistance, and home adaptations
-
Travel and treatment-related expenses
You usually have three years from the date of diagnosis, or from when you first linked your condition to your work, to make a claim. Acting quickly ensures the strongest possible case.
