What should you do if you’ve developed an occupational illness because of work?

We’d be lying if we said seeking compensation should be the first thing you do if you’re ill due to work. Our main concern is your recovery, if that is an option to you, to hopefully prevent this condition happening to you again, or making it worse. This is especially true where the risk of further stress is present.

Getting an accurate medical report and diagnosis will help us evaluate your case when you do feel it’s time to file a claim for compensation. This way we can start to identify what the occupational illness is and how it has affected your daily life, and what the likely cause of it was – which in the case of employer negligence will show who is liable for it.

It also helps if there is a record of your ongoing symptoms and discomfort you experience. It can show the potential long-term consequences of the industrial disease and help to calculate the appropriate compensation.

Contact our team of occupational illness specialists – we can help you evaluate if and how much you may be able to claim, and provide advice and guidance on your recovery. Call on 08082391859^.
