At Ison Harrison, we can offer you the specialist expertise needed to bring a claim for compensation for an industrial disease. These are claims for compensation where, rather than there being a specific one-off incident which has caused personal injury, there has been exposure to harmful substances or unsafe working practices over a period of time, leading to injury or illness.
This area of law is constantly changing. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide you with the most up-to-date legal advice in what is often a complex minefield for the unwary.
We never forget that, at the end of the day, it is your claim. Clients often come to us in difficult times when, for example, they may have just been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide you with a professional yet sympathetic approach and will reassure you and keep you updated at every stage in the claim.
We can advise you and bring a claim on your behalf in the following specific areas:-
- Asbestos-related claims
- Vibration white finger claims
- Work-related upper limb disorders
- Claims for work-related hearing loss
- Claims for work-induced asthma
- Dermatitis claims
The first question which we normally get asked by clients relates to how much we charge for our services. We carry out all industrial disease work on a "No Win, No Fee" basis. The practical effect of this is that whatever happens with your claim, win or lose, you will never have to pay for our services. If we win the case, we will recover our costs from the Defendants. If we do not win the case, we do not get paid. There is therefore nothing to be worried about at all in using our services as you will effectively get the benefit of our expertise free of charge.
Please call or e-mail Stephen Hattersley, the Partner in charge of the Industrial Disease Team, for your free advice as to whether or not you may be able to bring a claim.
