Industrial disease claims

An industrial disease is any disease that a worker develops as a result of performing their occupational duties.

Whatever the case, if the worker has developed the illness as a result of occupational factors such as excessive noise (industrial deafness), dermal exposure to harmful chemicals or irritants (occupational dermatitis) or the inhalation of asbestos fibres (pleural plaques, asbestosis or mesothelioma), the employer may be found liable for health and safety failings.

Holding employers to account

The specialist personal injury solicitors in Thompsons' Borders offices work to ensure that employers are held to account for their health and safety failings. Not only can this help ensure you receive the full amount of compensation you deserve, to provide for important things such as treatment and recovery, it can also help in ensuring the protection of other workers' health and safety in the future.

Personal injury case

Aisha was a brilliant solicitor for my case. She was very kind and polite, she successfully obtained a settlement and she kept the process as stress free as she could in this type of situation. She listened and alleviated any worries I had. If I could and needed to, I would definitely recommend Aisha to any friends and family.

First and hopefully last experience on an injury claim

From my initial contact with Thompsons through to the satisfactory outcome of my claim I have been nothing but impressed by the clarity and professionalism of Jennifer and the team. Jennifer was able to set my expectations early as to both the process but more importantly the potential protracted timescales in making a claim and anticipated outcomes. it's very evident that a lot of detailed information gathering takes place in the background and detail of the circumstances and the impact of the claimant but also those directly impacted by in this case my incapacity. At every stage Jennifer kept me updated as to progress and the next steps. In summary I cant praise Jennifer and the team more highly.

Michael Mazzucco

I highly recommend Michael at Thomson’s solicitors. He was so supportive and knowledgeable about my claim. He guided me through all the steps of my claim through e-mails and phone calls. His expertise resulted in a successful claim.
