As you may already be aware, in accident at work claims, claimants have three years from the date of the accident to issue proceedings at court. This is known as the limitation period. In industrial disease claims, however, this three-year period starts to run from the date the symptoms first became significant and were associated with work. Stephensons are well-placed to advise you on the key limitation issues that can arise as they vary on a case by case basis
An industrial disease compensation claim refers to a claim made by a worker who has developed an illness or medical condition as a result of their work environment or exposure to toxic substances. This claim seeks financial compensation for the suffering and losses caused by the industrial disease.

To determine if you can claim industrial injury compensation, you should consult with a lawyer specialising in personal injury law. They will assess your case, considering factors such as the nature of the injury, the circumstances under which it occurred, and relevant laws.
Industrial diseases that are eligible for compensation claims include asbestos-related diseases such as mesothelioma and asbestosis, lung diseases caused by exposure to harmful substances like coal dust and silica, occupational cancers caused by exposure to certain chemicals or materials, repetitive strain injuries, noise-induced hearing loss, and work-related stress and mental health conditions.
To determine if your industrial illness is a result of your work environment, you and your solicitor should consult with a medical professional who specialises in occupational health. They will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and work environment to provide a diagnosis and determine if there is a link between your illness and your workplace conditions.
A disease claim refers to a compensation claim made by someone who believes that someone else was responsible for them developing a disease, usually at work.
Jobs that involve exposure to hazardous substances, such as construction workers, miners, factory workers, and healthcare professionals, are most at risk of industrial diseases. These industries often involve exposure to asbestos, chemicals, radiation, and other harmful agents that can result in long-term health issues and diseases.
If you suspect you have an industrial disease, you should seek immediate medical attention and inform your employer. It is important to document any symptoms or health issues related to your work environment for potential legal action or compensation claims.
It is impossible to determine if an industrial disease claim will go to court without more information about the specific circumstances of the claim. Many claims are settled out of court, but some may require litigation if a resolution cannot be reached through negotiations or alternative dispute resolution methods.
To prove an industrial disease compensation claim, you and your solicitor would typically need to gather evidence such as medical records, work history, and witness statements. You may also require expert opinions from doctors or occupational health professionals to link your condition to the workplace. Consulting a solicitor specialising in industrial disease claims is recommended for comprehensive guidance.
The time it takes to settle an industrial disease claim can vary depending on various factors such as the complexity of the case, the severity of the illness, and the cooperation of all involved parties. In some cases, it can be resolved within a few months, while others may take several years to reach a settlement.
The time limit to make an industrial disease claim is usually three years in England and Wales. In general, it is advisable to seek legal advice as soon as possible, so that you don't accidentally miss the opportunity to claim.
The amount of compensation for a successful industrial disease claim can vary greatly depending on various factors, such as the severity of the disease, the extent of the harm or disability caused, and the impact on the individual's life.
