Around 1.2 million people suffered from work related disease in 2010/11. Many victims are not aware that they may be entitled to a claim. A claim for compensation can be made in relation to employment which may have finished many years ago. If you are exposed to excessive noise after 1963 and have hearing loss, you may be able to claim compensation. If you have been exposed to asbestos within the last 40-50years, and suffer from an asbestos related illness, you may be able to claim compensation.
What can be claimed for?
You can claim for the physical and mental suffering caused by the illness, and the impact it has had upon your day to day life. If you have been unable to work because of your illness or are unable to rejoin the workforce, you will also be able to claim for loss of earnings. If you have incurred medical or rehabilitation expenses or you now require constant care, you can claim compensation to cover the cost of these too.
