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.
