Occupational Disease Claims
Help From A Specialist Team
Our specialist team provides all our clients with outstanding legal service and guidance throughout their occupational disease claim.
Employers have a legal duty to protect the health and safety of their employees at work. Eatons has extensive experience advising individuals suffering from work-related diseases across a wide range of occupations and industries. Workplace diseases and conditions caused by harmful materials or unsafe working environments can result in an occupational disease claim, which is a type of personal injury claim.
How To Claim For Occupational Diseases
If you think your condition is linked to your work, the first step is to speak to a Specialist in this area. We will listen to what has happened, explain whether you may have a claim and talk you through the evidence that can help, such as your medical and employment history. Time limits apply to occupational disease claims. In most cases you will have three years from the date you first knew, or reasonably should have known, that your condition was linked to your work, so it’s worth getting advice as early as you can. However, in some circumstances, the Court can use its discretion to extend the three year period. If a loved one dies before you become aware that they have been exposed to harmful substances then it is 3 years from the date of death or the day their personal representative becomes aware, whichever is the latest.
