Case studies - Industrial disease | Case Studies
'Industrial disease' is a legal term for any condition or illness that developed following exposure to a hazardous substance at work or as a result of an unsafe working environment.
Health and Safety Executive (HSE) estimates show that around 2 million people are affected by industrial disease every year.
Industrial diseases include:
- Workplace cancer
- Asbestos-related disease
- Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL)
- Repetitive strain injury (RSI)
- Hand-arm vibration syndrome (vibration white finger)
If you have suffered from an industrial disease as a result of your employer's actions or negligence, you may be entitled to financial compensation.
With Quittance Legal Services, your industrial disease accident compensation claim will be handled by a highly-experienced solicitor with an excellent track record of winning compensation for claimants who injured at work.
