Industrial disease is a highly specialised area of personal injury litigation.
One made all the more complex by the fact that some diseases (asbestos-related conditions, for example) aren’t diagnosed until long after the work which caused the disease has ended.
Our expertise extends across all types of industrial disease including:
- Asbestos-related disease and other lung conditions (such as asthma and silicosis);
- Vibration White Finger (sometimes called Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome);
- Industrial deafness;
- Dermatitis.
Over the years we have built up a huge bank of experience and expertise with a detailed understanding of many different sectors of industry and the issues involved in successfully pursuing claims against employers.
We identify how best to pursue the case and have a range of technical and medical experts we can call upon to provide reports on cases as and when needed.
Even in such a technical area we endeavour to explain every step in simple language.
In those very sad cases where the disease has proved fatal,we understand that, for a bereaved family, the thought of pursuing a claim can be extremely distressing.
With this in mind we always act in an approachable and sensitive manner.
