What is Industrial Disease?

Industrial disease is classed as an illness brought on when a worker has been doing their daily work. It can manifest itself in a number of different diagnoses which range from cancers, skin complaints, deafness, and lung disease.

If during the legal process is can be proved that the employer was responsible for the illness due to working conditions, then it’s possible to investigate making an industrial disease claim for compensation.

Cause to Claim for an Industial Illness

Blame will typically occur where our solicitors can prove that the company you worked for was neglectful in their duty of care. This can include aspects such as not providing the proper safety equipment, exposing employees to dangerous substances, or not having proper health and safety training and procedures in place.

Our industrial disease look at all of the factors and evidence will establish that your employer has not protected you – once that has been established it’s then possible to settle on compensation amounts with the various insurance companies involved – even if it’s many years since you worked for the company, and even if the business no longer exists.

Your employer’s insurance policies are designed to protect them against financial litigation, meaning any successful industrial disease claims will be paid for by an insurance company. That means your employer will not have to pay out. Plus, UK law also makes provisions to ensure companies cannot discriminate against employees and workers who have taken legal action such as this.
