Industrial disease claims

An industrial disease is any disease that a worker develops as a result of performing their occupational duties.

Whatever the case, if the worker has developed the illness as a result of occupational factors such as excessive noise (industrial deafness), dermal exposure to harmful chemicals or irritants (occupational dermatitis) or the inhalation of asbestos fibres (pleural plaques, asbestosis or mesothelioma), the employer may be found liable for health and safety failings.

The specialist personal injury solicitors in Thompsons' Borders offices work to ensure that employers are held to account for their health and safety failings. Not only can this help ensure you receive the full amount of compensation you deserve, to provide for important things such as treatment and recovery, it can also help in ensuring the protection of other workers' health and safety in the future.

Hard work paid off

After having my case turned down by another company I turned to thompsons hoping that they would take on my case. They did and now after a long time we have had the result we wanted. I cannot thank Joel and the rest of the team that worked on my case enough, they are a credit to thompsons. They supported me continuously throughout and always gave me good information regarding how the case was going and next steps etc.

Excellent Service

We decided to use Thompsons Solicitors for our personal injury claim following a road traffic accident. The service was spot on from beginning to end, with excellent communication, timely responses & cleat advice that was easy to understand. It was evident Corinne was always acting in her clients best interests and she worked hard to ensure we got the compensation we rightfully deserved. We were delighted with our final offer and we would absolutely recommend both Thompsons and Corinne to others. We cannot thank her enough for all her help, support and advice during this experience.
