Industrial Disease Compensation Claim Solicitors

At Injuries Direct we work with some of the best industrial disease compensation claim solicitors available. They have experience in securing compensation for all types of industrial disease and illnesses and have managed to change people’s lives for the better by doing so.

A solicitor will look to approach the employer(s) responsible for your illness and will try to get an out-of-court compensation settlement that suits the severity of your disease. In the unlikely event that your claim ends up in court, they will also represent you there, which more often that not means you will not need to attend unless it is necessary to do so.

Making an Industrial Disease Claim for Compensation

Your employer has a duty to protect you from the dangers of illness and disease. They must implement certain safety rules and precautions depending on what your job role is. If they have done all they can to make you aware of the dangers then getting compensation may prove difficult as they are not necessarily liable.

However, if they have failed to train you, or provide you with the right protective equipment for example and you become ill, you can make a compensation claim against them.

All claims are made against the employers insurance, which they are legally obliged to have in to protect them in situations like this. Claiming does not affect them financially so you should not worry about any potential implications to your working relationship.
