Industrial Disease

Occupational or industrial diseases result from exposure to substances or work processes, often over many years. Examples of occupational disease include asbestos disease, deafness, dermatitis and vibration injury.

Employers can be held responsible for occupational disease caused as a result of negligence.

There is a three year time limit to bring a civil claim. In industrial disease cases the exposure may have occurred a long time before the condition was diagnosed. The time limit will not normally apply until the connection between your symptoms and your work have been made. However the arguments can be complex and it is important that you are represented by an independent specialist.
