Industrial Disease Claims

Industrial diseases differ from accidents at work because exposure to the cause of illness may have occurred some time ago, there may be more than one employer which may be liable, and the symptoms can take a long time to show.

We have acted on behalf of clients in relation to a variety of diseases and conditions, including:

• Mesothelioma
• Asbestosis
• Pleural thickening
• Lung cancer
• Asthma
• Dermatitis
• Hand, Arm, Vibration Syndrome (HAVS)

If you, or a family member have regrettably been diagnosed with an industrial disease then please contact us as soon as possible so that we can review your situation and advise you if you are able to claim compensation.

We have great experience of representing individuals and families claiming compensation for industrial disease and in particular asbestos related illnesses in Suffolk.

If you are the wife or dependant of a loved one who has sadly passed away because of an asbestos related disease, it may also be possible to recover compensation for you.

Our solicitors demonstrate great sympathy and empathy and regularly bring claims for wives and other family members of individuals who were exposed to asbestos. We are passionate and determined to get the best result we can for our industrial disease clients as quickly as possible.

We have substantial local knowledge of the use of asbestos in industries located in Suffolk and Essex in the past and have advised individuals who have brought claims for industrial diseases contracted as a result of working in places such as Cliff Quay Power Station, Ipswich Sugar Beet Factory, BT and Cranes in Ipswich.
