What is an Industrial Disease?

Although we act for many people injured at work, we also have a specialist team representing clients who have suffered injury and loss as a result of industrial disease or illness.

There is a whole range of injuries and conditions which fall under the definition of industrial disease.

They arise usually where employers have breached their duty of care to ensure your health is not adversely affected by working methods or environment. Often these conditions are caused by poor or hazardous working conditions or exposure to excessive noise, dangerous substances, dust, fumes or vibrating tools and equipment.

While we have the experience and expertise to discuss most aspects of industrial disease the predominant conditions and illnesses that we deal with are;

The effects of industrial disease or illness can sometimes develop quickly or may take years before symptoms start to show. We would always recommend seeking the earliest possible medical advice as sometimes conditions can be life-threatening.

This can include:

  • Lost income for time off work as a result of injury or treatment
