When your injury or illness happens over time
There are illnesses and injuries that are not the result of an accident, but occur due to long term exposure to a specific environment. These can include things like:
- Asbestosis: This is the result of exposure to asbestos without provision of the proper protective equipment.
- Repetitive strain injury: As a result of constant use of equipment without sufficient training, or, in some cases, rest periods.
- Various back conditions: Resulting from inadequate seating for desk based jobs or from lack of proper training in lifting and manual handling.
... and these are just examples. In addition, with this type of claim the three year period may not apply – you may be entitled to make a claim up to 40 years after the initial onset of symptoms.
If you are suffering from a disease or injury that can be traced back to your working conditions – you have a good chance of making a claim so do contact us on our freephone number 0800 612 6757 to find out more.
