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.

Forever the best of the best

My solicitor Alix, was absolutely flawless and a consummate professional from the first moment, polite professionalism all the way, I was kept up to date with everything that was going on from start to finish, second time I have asked Thompsons solicitors for help and full success on both counts, absolutely different class and a cut above as was Alix, to say thank you so much doesn’t sum it up.

Outstanding Service – Efficient, Honest, and Highly Professional! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I cannot thank Rhaea Clark at Thompsons Solicitors enough for her incredible support with my personal injury claim. She handled my case on a No Win, No Fee basis, and what really stood out to me was her absolute transparency regarding fees. The billing structure was completely clear from day one, giving me total peace of mind that there would be no hidden surprises. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless. I was kept updated every step of the way, and the entire claim was resolved much quicker than I ever expected. If you need a personal injury solicitor who is efficient, honest, and delivers fantastic results, I highly recommend Rhaea Clark. Thank you for making a stressful situation so easy!
