Occupational Disease Compensation Claims
Whilst the industrial landscape of the UK may have changed dramatically over the last 50 years, occupational diseases are not a thing of the past. Many people continue to suffer illness as a direct consequence of exposure to dangerous substances at work.
Occupational diseases are not restricted to the work place however. Airborne substances such as asbestos or poisonous fumes can affect anybody who is regularly in the locality or who lives in the surrounding area.
Other conditions which would be classed as an occupational disease can develop because of unsafe systems of work such as repetitive strain injuries or because of exposure to excessive noise or vibration.
If you have suffered injury as a result of exposure to dangerous substances, excessive noise or unsafe systems of work it may be possible to pursue a claim for personal injury compensation.
At Sintons our occupational disease specialists have a wealth of experience in pursuing personal injury compensation claims for individuals who have suffered from a variety of occupational diseases including:
All occupational disease compensation claims are pursued on a No Win No Fee basis so you can rest assured that there is no financial risk.
To begin a personal injury compensation claim or obtain further advice with no obligation contact Sintons 24/7.
