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.

Highly Professional

I had a very positive experience with Thompsons in dealing with my personal injury claim. Derek McLean dealt with my case and I am very grateful to him in securing my compensation. A special thank you to Karen Shand who provided supportive communication throughout.

Dog attack

Having never made a claim for compensation before Meghan was appointed my solicitor. From the start she was very friendly but professional. Always explained things in a way I would understand. She was also very prompt in replying to any of my questions or when asking for updates and nothing seemed to much trouble for her. The advice and guidance from her made the process very easy. There was also a time where I waa unsure if going for further appointments to see a specialist was the right way to go. Meghan gave her own thoughts but also asked advise herself just to be sure which was reassuring to me. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

Above and Beyond

My experience with Thompsons was nothing but amazing. The time and effort that Nathalie Axelsson put into my case along with her collegues was exceptional. The professionalism and time taken to make sure my case was solid was amazing. I can't thank them enough.

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.
