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.

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.

Tenacity, Intelligence, Ethics.

I am absolutely delighted with Raegan's professional approach and results and this is shown in my descriptors in the title above. This young lady has shown the tenacity I would wish for in such a situation coupled with high intelligence and also ethics followed to the letter. I would have no hesitation in dealing with this firm again, and as an ex technician for two high-risk Lloyds of London Syndicates, I cannot praise Raegan highly enough nor her firm. Fantastic work, thank you!. Very best wishes. Duncan Maclean (Ayr)

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.
