Industrial disease compensation

Industrial disease claims cover injuries, diseases and conditions sustained in the workplace that are normally caused over a period of time through exposure to harmful materials or unsafe working practices or environments.

Whether it’s an ‘industrial disease’, an ‘industrial accident’, an ‘industrial injury’ or an ‘occupational disease’, this type of compensation claim usually arises in the manufacturing industry but can happen in any workplace.

A typical industrial disease claim may involve one or more of the following:

• Asbestos 
• Dermatitis
• Chronic back pain
• Occupational asthma 

If you have become ill or injured as a result of your occupation you may be entitled to compensation.

All employers are required by law to protect employees from exposure to dangerous chemicals in the workplace or in the course of employment. Employers are also required to put in place good working practices and processes that will minimise the risk of injury or illness.  

Our lawyers will advise on your chances of recovering compensation for your injury, the process of making a claim, any loss of earnings and any future treatment.
