Work-related Disease Claim
Every year, thousands of people suffer from an illness or disease because of their work. If your employer is at least partly responsible for your work-related illness or disease, you could be able to claim compensation.
In order to make a successful compensation claim, you will have to prove that your employer was aware of the risk that you could become ill and failed to protect you.
Work-related illnesses and diseases include:
- Asbestos-related conditions
- Repetitive strain injury (RSI)
- Asthma
- Occupational cancers
- Hand arm vibration syndrome
- (also known as vibration white finger)
- Skin conditions e.g. dermatitis
- Deafness
- Dust/fume exposure
