Industrial Disease
Have you recently been diagnosed with an industrial disease? Do you have cancer? Did you work with chemicals, dust, coal or silica?
We spend most of our lives working. Some working conditions lead to industrial disease.
Family members can also be affected. They can get asbestos from washing work clothes.
If you have suffered an industrial disease you are entitled to seek industrial disease compensation.
This can go a long way to helping you get back on track.
Firstly, speak to your GP and get specialist medical help. There are many treatments available.
There are also lots of aids and adaptations to your home to make life easier.
