Occupational Asthma

Occupational asthma can prove to be a very difficult condition to diagnose and many clients who approach us for help have already tried to claim compensation before without success. As with most industrial disease compensation claims, to get the right result you need the right solicitors and this is where our specialist industrial disease lawyers excel.

Occupational asthma is caused when the lungs become sensitised to a certain agent or agents in the work place. It is often reversible and so sufferers tend to find that their symptoms get worse as the working week wears on and they experience significant improvements when they have holidays. Many industrial diseases are misdiagnosed and occupational asthma is perhaps the main culprit, in many case the cause is not identified until many years after the onset.

Traditionally our legal experts have dealt with industrial asthma claims for clients working in heavy industry but increasingly we find that asthma is on the rise throughout the employment spectrum. We have helped a nurse who developed asthma as a result of breathing in fumes while cleaning surgical instruments, cleaners following exposure to cleaning products, painters, welders and employees form industries too numerous to list. Our message is simple, we are here to help – if you have any questions at all call us or complete our enquiry form.

So, if you think you may have a claim then contact us today. Our specialist team of industrial disease lawyers are here to help you. We will pursue your claim on a strictly NO WIN NO FEE basis. No Win No Fee means that it does not cost you anything and you will receive 100% of your damages.
