The judge found that the claimant’s work had made a material contribution to his injury and that if it wasn’t for the injury the claimant would have continued to do this job until the age of 67 and was awarded over £508,000.
This case settled at JSM for £4.15m, net of any deduction for alleged contributory negligence. Whilst not formally sub-divided, the award is broadly commensurate with care and assistance of over £2m, general damages of £335k, loss of earnings of £450k, accommodation of £350k, travel/transport expenses of over £200k, case management of £350k and equipment of £200k, plus lesser heads of loss.
We succeeded in obtaining a gross settlement of £150,000 for our client to compensate him for his pain and suffering, as well as his past and future financial losses.
An industrial disease, also known as an occupational disease, is a health condition caused or aggravated by exposure to hazards or conditions in the workplace. These diseases can result from exposure to harmful chemicals, dust, noise, radiation, repetitive tasks, or other occupational hazards.
The time limit for making an industrial disease claim varies, but in most cases, you have three years from the date of diagnosis or the date you became aware that your condition was caused by your work environment.
Evidence to support your industrial disease claim may include medical records documenting your diagnosis and treatment, witness statements from colleagues or other individuals who can attest to your working conditions, documentation of any safety measures or protective equipment provided by your employer, and records of any complaints you made about hazardous working conditions.
Compensation for industrial disease claims is calculated based on factors such as the severity of your illness, the impact on your ability to work and carry out daily activities, the cost of medical treatment and rehabilitation, and any financial losses incurred due to your illness, such as lost wages or future earning capacity.
At OH Parsons, we operate on a “no win, no fee” basis for industrial disease claims. This means that you won’t have to pay any upfront legal fees, and you only pay if your claim is successful. Our fees are typically recovered as a percentage of the compensation you receive, ensuring that you can pursue your claim without financial risk.
