Occupational chest-related and industrial diseases

In the workplace, all employers have an obligation to ensure the health and safety of their staff. Your health should not be affected by the job you do or your working environment.  Unfortunately this is not always the case. There are many occupational diseases that can, through no fault of your own, cause you to become ill.

Respiratory Disease

We have a dedicated Industrial Disease team of experienced Personal Injury lawyers who can offer you clear advice and sympathetic support.  We will help you claim compensation that can ease your financial burdens, as well as give you access to any rehabilitation, future care or emotional support you may need.  The cost for treatment could even form a part of your claim.

You can come to us if you have been diagnosed with any of the following illnesses due to exposure at work:

• Industrial Asthma
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Silicosis
• Pneumoconiosis
• Extrinsic allergy alveolitis

We will arrange for you to be seen by a consultant respiratory expert who can answer any queries about your diagnosis and the treatment options available. 

As well as respiratory illnesses we can also offer you clear advice and help you claim compensation for a variety of other illnesses including:

• Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
• Industrial deafness
• Vibration White Finger (VWF)
• Work related upper limb disorder
• Stress or anxiety
