Work Related Injury
There are many conditions that develop because of the working environment or the repetitive nature of the work an employee has to do. Generally the illness or condition develops over a long period of time and an employee does not become aware why they have developed symptoms until some time later. It can be caused by exposure to hazardous chemicals or substances that you have been using in your job or simply exposed to in the work place itself. Your employer is obliged to reduce the risk of you developing a number of conditions, including the following:-
Asbestosis & Mesothelioma
Repetitive Strain Injury/Work Related Upper Limb Disorder
Hand-arm vibration syndrome/Vibration White Finger
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder
Asthma
Industrial Deafness
Bursitis/Beat Knee
Work Related Stress
Health and Safety laws exist to protect you at work. If you are injured because your employer is negligent or does not follow the law, you are likely to have a claim. Even if your accident hasn’t caused you to take time off work, you can still claim compensation for the injury itself.
If you do have a claim, we will obtain an interim payment from the responsible party’s insurers to assist with any financial hardship you have been caused and to pay for treatment privately at the earliest opportunity.
