Start a Lung Disease Claim

How Do I Start A Lung Disease Claim?

If you or someone you care for has developed a lung disease or condition as a result of workplace exposure to contaminants, and you believe that is has come as a result of negligence on the part of an employer, then it is likely that you can make a claim for compensation. This might sound quite a scary prospect, particularly if you are already trying to deal with a range of symptoms or complications arising as a result of the disease, but rest assured we are here to help.

The first step in making a claim is getting a diagnosis from a doctor – so that should be your first point of call. Once you have received a diagnosis and an appropriate treatment plan you should contact one of our highly experienced and friendly solicitors who can begin to put together the pieces in order to make a successful claim. We have a huge amount of experience of dealing with claims for lung diseases of all types. Whatever the stage of the condition, our team will be on hand to talk you through the process without any obligation for you to continue with any action unless you feel comfortable to do so.

When you contact our team they will ask you questions about your condition and how it affects you, so as to build up a picture of what happened and who is at fault. We can liaise with your doctors or medical team to provide the more in-depth information that you might not be quite as familiar with, but we will never progress with a case unless you are happy for us to do so.

While it can take many years for some lung diseases to manifest themselves and be diagnosed, there are strict guidelines when it comes to timescales for making a claim: they must be lodged within three years of a diagnosis or noticing the symptoms of the illness. With this in mind, the sooner you contact us, the sooner we can establish if you have a valid case and, if so, how much compensation you might be eligible for. 

Contact us today, either by calling us free on 0800 122 3130, or by requesting a free call back, whereby one of our team will contact you at a time of your choice, to discuss your situation and let us see how we can help you get the compensation you and your family deserve.

When you contact us you are under no obligation to continue with the case unless you wish to do so.
