Personal injury & medical negligence
Industrial disease claims
If you believe your working conditions caused or worsened a health condition, talk through your work history, symptoms and possible next steps.
Could you have a claim?
Industrial disease covers health conditions that may be linked to harmful exposure at work. Some develop gradually and may become apparent after a person has left a job. Assessing a possible claim involves your work history, the exposure, the precautions taken and medical evidence about the condition. Exposure or a diagnosis alone does not establish that compensation is due.
