Industrial Disease Compensation Claims Solicitors

The term ‘industrial disease’ is used to refer to a group of illnesses caused by the working environment, either through inhalation of or exposure to harmful chemicals and substances such as asbestos, or through defective, mismanaged work practices.

If you have contracted an industrial disease due to the negligence of an employer or fellow employee, you may be able to make an industrial disease compensation claim. The team of industrial disease solicitors at Farleys can provide clear, easy to understand legal advice regarding your potential claim.

Common Industrial Disease Claims

If you are unsure whether your disease qualifies as an industrial disease, it is always best to consult a doctor for a full diagnosis. A doctor should also be capable of speculating on the cause of your disease.

At Farleys, we handle a great many industrial disease claims on behalf of clients throughout the UK. Some of the more common claims relate to:

• Asbestos related diseases
• Carpal tunnel syndrome 
• Hand arm vibration Claims

• Noise induced hearing loss 
• Occupational asthma and respiratory illnesses 
• Occupational deafness and other hearing problems
• Occupational dermatitis 
• Repetitive strain injuries (RSI) such as vibration white finger 
• Pneumoconiosis – an occupational lung disease caused by dust inhalation

If you are suffering from any of the above industrial diseases or injuries, you may be eligible to make a claim for financial compensation. To do so, you will be required to demonstrate that another individual, be they a manager or fellow employee, or the company in general, is responsible for your development of the illness.

They may have failed to provide you with adequate safety equipment, failed to maintain asbestos and other harmful materials in the correct manner or may simply have neglected to provide you with the proper training.

We will do everything in our power to ensure you receive the financial compensation you need to restore your quality of life, pay for medical and ongoing care and to pay bills and other fees incurred as a result of your industrial disease.
