At Industrial Disease Claim, we help workers across the UK who have developed serious workplace injuries or health conditions due to unsafe working environments.

If your job has exposed you to hazardous substances, excessive noise, or repetitive physical strain, you may be able to have your situation assessed to see whether a potential industrial disease claim could be pursued for medical costs, lost earnings, or ongoing care.

Industrial Disease Claim acts as an introducer only. We do not provide legal advice or representation, and cannot guarantee outcomes. Legal advice is provided exclusively by independent, SRA-regulated solicitors.

Who Can Make an Industrial Disease Compensation Claim?

An enquiry can be made by any worker who has developed a work-related illness due to hazardous exposure, poor working conditions, or employer negligence.

If a worker has passed away, family members may submit an enquiry to check whether a potential industrial disease claim could be referred to an independent solicitor.

Eligible enquiries may then be referred for legal advice and assessment by SRA-regulated solicitors.

How Much Compensation Can I Claim for an Industrial Disease?

Industrial disease compensation varies depending on the condition and severity. Typical UK claims have historically ranged from lower-value amounts for mild conditions to higher amounts for severe, life-threatening illnesses.

Factors considered may include:

• Type and severity of disease – asbestosis, lung conditions, or vibration white finger
• Impact on earnings – time off work or inability to return to employment
• Medical costs – treatment, rehabilitation, and ongoing care

Industrial Disease Claim does not provide legal advice or guarantee outcomes. Eligible enquiries may be referred to independent solicitors for assessment.

What Are the Most Common Types of Industrial Disease Claims?

Some of the most frequent conditions assessed include:

• Asbestos-related diseases – mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer
• Respiratory conditions – occupational asthma, COPD, silicosis
• Hearing loss – industrial deafness or tinnitus from excessive noise
• Skin conditions – dermatitis, chemical burns
• Repetitive strain injuries (RSI) – musculoskeletal disorders from repetitive tasks

An enquiry assessment can determine whether a potential claim may be suitable for referral to an independent solicitor.

How Do I Start an Industrial Disease Claim?

The process begins with an eligibility check, which may include providing:

• Medical reports confirming diagnosis
• Employment history and exposure details
• Workplace health & safety documentation
• Witness accounts from colleagues

If your enquiry is eligible, it may be referred to an independent, SRA-regulated solicitor for legal advice.

How Long Do I Have to Make an Industrial Disease Claim?

Most industrial disease claim services must be filed within three years from the date of diagnosis, rather than the date of exposure.

However, in cases where symptoms develop years after exposure, such as asbestos-related diseases, you may still be eligible to file a liability claim if you were only recently diagnosed.

What Evidence Is Needed for an Industrial Disease Claim?

To successfully file an industrial disease claim, you will need:

• Medical reports – Documentation confirming the illness and its severity.
• Employment records – Proof of exposure to hazardous conditions in the workplace.
• Witness statements – Testimonies from colleagues or former coworkers.
• Health & safety reports – Evidence of unsafe working conditions or lack of protective measures.
• Lack of safety equipment – Documentation proving that your employer failed to provide proper protective gear.

How Long Does an Industrial Disease Claim Take to Settle?

Timeframes vary depending on the condition and complexity. Straightforward enquiries may progress in a few months, while more complex claims involving serious illnesses and disputed liability may take longer. Interim payments may be considered by solicitors in some situations to cover urgent costs.

Who Is Responsible for an Industrial Disease?

ILiability may rest with the employer or other parties responsible for maintaining a safe workplace. Industrial Disease Claim does not determine liability. Eligible enquiries may be referred to independent solicitors for assessment and guidance on potential claims.
