Industrial diseases
If you have contracted an industrial or work-related illness or disease anywhere in Scotland, including off-shore, as a result of your employment, then Bonnar & Company Solicitors can help you claim the compensation you deserve on a No Win - No Fee basis, even if your employer is no longer trading.
It is in your interest to contact us as soon as possible to discuss your claim as we need to know the details of your employment history and the circumstances which caused your illness.
It is also in your interest not to discuss your personal injury claim with an insurance company or other third party looking to offer you a settlement figure. At this difficult and stressful time you need expert, independent legal advice.
Claiming compensation for industrial diseases
Thousands of people are diagnosed every year with industrial diseases and the total number of workers having to deal with the pain and suffering caused by exposure to hazardous substances and dangerous practices is growing every year. The Health & Safety Executive estimates that 20 workers every week are diagnosed with asbestosis or asbestos induced conditions in the UK. If you are dealing with the after effects of someone else’s carelessness or negligence then you may be entitled to claim for compensation.
Some typical industrial disease claims:
• Asbestos related diseases
• Exposure to carcinogens
• Occupational asthma
• Work related dermatitis
• Industrial deafness
• Hand arm vibration syndrome (including vibration white finger)
