UK OCCUPATIONAL DISEASE CLAIM ADVICE
Are you suffering from an industrial illness?
Unsure whether you can claim compensation?
Are you looking for FREE legal advice?
Our solicitors use the no win no fee scheme and compensation is paid in full. If you would like free advice with no further obligation on occupational disease claim settlements from a specialist personal injury solicitor just use the helpline or complete and send the contact form.
Our aim is to ensure that victims of industrial illness receive quality, competent legal advice at NO COST. All of our solicitors are members of the Law Society personal injury panel and are able to represent you on a No Win No Fee basis.
Do you want to make an occupational disease claim? These conditions and syndromes are preventable by reducing or eliminating hazardous exposures in the workplace.
They are often difficult to recognise because their symptoms may mimic non-occupational illness. Additionally there often exists a long latency period between the exposure and manifestation of symptoms of the illness.
Although compensation claims for personal injury generally must be brought within 3 years of the cause, the time limit may be extended where the date of the knowledge of your injury and its cause is some time after the damage arose.
It is important however, that you do not delay in obtaining legal advice for an occupational disease claim. As soon as you become aware that you may have symptoms you should see your doctor immediately for a medical assessment and if necessary you should seek legal advice immediately.
Here are 3 good reasons to choose our lawyers:
- Our lawyers will provide you with legal advice on your rights and entitlements to compensation with no further obligation.
- Our solicitors are specialist accredited expert members of the Law Society personal injury panel with extensive experience in negotiating, settling and litigating accident compensation claims.
- If you decide to instruct any of our specialists to obtain compensation for you, they will act on a “no win no fee” basis. Compensation is paid in full and win or lose there is no charge.¹
