When an Industrial Disease Impacts Your Life
The number of diseases and illnesses that affect industrial workers is staggering. Many diseases and conditions, including deafness or vibration white finger, can affect a person for the rest of their life. Other diseases, such as mesothelioma or asbestosis, can be fatal.
It is easy to feel overwhelmed when dealing with an industrial disease. Many people wonder how much the appropriate medical treatment will cost. Other people are worried about whether they have the basis for a claim, and if so, how long the claim will take to complete.

Determining if You Have a Claim
One of biggest questions people have when they contact our firm is whether they have a claim. Our lawyers work to establish if there was exposure to the substance that caused the medical condition. In most cases, diseases must be diagnosed. You generally have three years from when the condition was diagnosed to make a claim.
If you have a claim, you may be able to receive compensation for the condition, for any further treatment, for medication and for loss of earnings. Contact us online or call 0800 046 1472 to determine if you have a valid occupational disease claim.
