We are the most experienced personal injury law firm in the country. Our expertise allows us to take and win difficult cases such as the one below.
If you are unlucky enough to suffer illness, disease or injury as a result of something in the environment, it is possible that you may have a claim.
If this occurs at work, there are a number of regulations which can apply, for example the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 1988. We believe these cases are now a lot easier to succeed in since our landmark breakthrough case Dugmore v Swansea NHS Trust (2003).
We also use our industrial disease section to cover any long term occupational illness through exposure to work conditions which has caused this injury. That includes, for example vibration white finger or hearing loss claims or latex injury claims such as dermatitis or asthma.
See our full industrial disease index below.
If you believe that you are suffering an illness, disease or injury as a result of something in the environment, always keep any evidence to support the exposure, make sure that you seek medical advice and that your treating doctors are made aware of your belief / suspicion of the cause and keep details of all doctors visited and treatments, and for any injury related expenses.
