Industrial disease claims

Even with today's stringent Health and Safety regulations industrial diseases are still common and the Health and Safety Executive estimate that several thousand workers in the UK still die from asbestos related illness every year.

This is because industrial disease often results from long term exposure to a material or bad working practice. It is because of this that claims for industrial disease are often complex and require detailed investigations.

The main industrial diseases which we encounter at Law Options include:

• Asbestos related conditions and diseases
• Respiratory diseases
• Industrial deafness and tinnitus
• Vibration white finger
• Skin diseases
• Mesothelioma

Can I win?

A compensation claim should be successful if it can be shown that someone has been at fault in some way - that they have failed in a duty or not taken reasonable care - and that this fault or failure caused (or partly caused) the accident. This may be quite obvious in some cases, but in others it can be quite complicated.

Law Options have extensive legal and medical expertise in industrial disease claims and If you think that you might have an industrial disease, we would be happy to provide a full assessment without obligation.
