Industrial Disease

We have many years' experience of dealing with industrial disease claims such as chest disease, dermatitis and vibration white finger.

If you are suffering from an industrial disease caused by your work, then you can claim damages against an employer, or former employer, if you can show that your condition could have been avoided.

However, there are time limits within which cases must be brought, so the best advice is to contact us as soon as your condition has been diagnosed.

What should you do if you have an Industrial Disease?

• apply immediately to your local Benefits Agency office for Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit
• if you have worked for more than one employer where you have been exposed to dangerous substances you should work out an employment history with approximate dates
• contact Marrons immediately to seek professional advice - you need to act quickly as the starting point for the three year claim period is when you become aware that you have an industrial disease! BUT REMEMBER, even if your disease was diagnosed more than three years ago, you may still have a claim.
