Thousands of workers die from work-related lung disease each year in the UK.

If you have a lung disease or respiratory condition that was caused or made worse by your work, Thompsons Solicitors in Scotland can help you make a claim for compensation.

In some cases, the exposure to harmful substances and work conditions may have taken place many years ago, but if you have recently received a lung disease diagnosis or your symptoms have worsened, it might be time to talk to Thompsons about seeking justice.

Occupational Risks

There are a number of lung disease risks in the work place – asbestos, dusts, gases, fumes and vapours – which are noxious and may cause serious, often incurable, diseases and conditions.

These can severely affect your quality of life and, tragically, some lung diseases are fatal.

Broadly, work-related lung disease falls into two categories: Asbestos related and non-asbestos related.

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!

Excellent Results

Alix Stewart and her team were great through my case. Alix kept in contact with myself via e-mails and phone calls, spoke very clearly and was very patience with me on the phone as I am deaf. Guiding me through the case and keeping me up to date. On the day of the pre-trial, it was over less than 2 hours, such a relief, excellent results.

Excellent service from Thompsons.

I cannot recommend Thompsons and Raegan Burnside in particular enough. The service I recieved was excellent. I was kept informed at all times as to how my case was progressing. I felt understood and listened to. Time was taken to make sure I understood what was happening and how the legal process would work in my case. Thompsons represented me when my employer failed in their duty of care.

ASBESTOS RELATED LUNG DISEASE

When asbestos is disturbed, tiny fibres are released into the air. Anyone in the vicinity risks breathing in these harmful particles which can lodge themselves in the lungs. There are a number of asbestos related lung diseases, but mesothelioma is by far the most deadly.

Thompsons Solicitors in Scotland can help you make a claim for asbestos compensation if you have been exposed through no fault of your own. Click on the ubtton below to find out more.

NON-ASBESTOS-RELATED LUNG DISEASE

Occupational respiratory disease claims thousands of lives each year in the UK. If workers are exposed to harmful gases, fumes and dusts, they breathe these substances in and their health can be affected. Often, the damage will only become apparent much later in life and this means it may be difficult to trace former employers. But Thompsons has a specialist team who are experts in tracing business even if they are no longer trading.
