Making an industrial disease claim

At Jones Whyte, we understand you may feel awkward making a claim against your employer.

After all, you may believe that making a claim could open you up to retaliation in the workplace, or harm your career prospects.

In reality, if this happens, your employer is simply opening themselves to further claims.

While every individual is different, and every health condition is different, every industrial disease claim follows a similar pattern.

It begins with our industrial injury lawyers taking your statement. This helps us establish exactly what happened, what the symptoms of your condition are and how this has affected your life.

We then begin gathering supporting evidence. This can include:

Medical records.
Witness testimony.
Expert opinion.

We will begin to negotiate with the other side about the appropriate level of compensation. This can include immediate medical help, such as counselling or physiotherapy.

Every employer has a duty of care towards their employees. If they don’t take steps to mitigate risks and protect their staff, then they could be liable for industrial disease claims.
