Chronic Lung Disease Claims

Chronic lung disease claims typically arise as a result of an employee being exposed to harmful dust or chemicals whilst at work. Such exposures are often caused by negligence on the part of the employer; hence it is possible to claim financial compensation for pain and suffering, medical fees and rehabilitation costs.

If this sounds like your situation, contact the experienced team of industrial disease solicitors at JMW to discuss a potential occupational lung disease claim. Call now on 0800 054 6570 or use the contact form on the right for immediate advice and assistance.

Claiming Compensation for Chronic Lung Disease

Chronic lung disease could refer to a number of different breathing disorders caused by exposure to harmful materials, such as asbestos, and chemicals, such as benzene.

We regularly make claims for people suffering from respiratory diseases like silicosis, an illness caused by the inhalation of silica dust, and pneumoconiosis, a scarring of the lungs which causes shortness of breath and coughing.

If it can be shown that your employer at the time of exposure behaved negligently, and was therefore legally at fault, you will be eligible to make a chronic lung disease compensation claim.

How much could I Claim?

Based on previous judgements, a chronic lung disease like pneumoconiosis could result in a compensation amount totalling anything from £35,000 to £87,000. It really depends upon the details of your situation and the severity of your illness.

The team at JMW understand how debilitating an occupational lung disease can be, and will do everything in their power to ensure you receive the maximum amount of compensation for your illness.
