Industrial Disease Claims Lawyers Liverpool & North West London
Every year, many thousands of people develop illnesses caused by contact with something at work; Chemicals, Dust, Fumes, Noise and Vibration exposure at work are all common causes.
Depending on the person, the substance and the severity of contact, conditions can sometimes develop very quickly or can take months or even years to develop.
Despite the existence for many years of workplace rules and regulations, which are aimed at trying to reduce the risk of workers developing illnesses, employers have often failed to comply, rendering workplaces unsafe.
Should you develop an illness which you believe has been caused by work, you should seek medical advice immediately.
