Industrial Disease Compensation Claims

Work-related diseases can range from mild sickness to long-term debilitating and even fatal illnesses.

Severe diseases are more prevalent in traditional heavy industry but light industry and even offices can also carry a risk.

Dangerous chemicals can be hazardous unless employees are provided with the correct training, safety equipment and protective clothing.

One of the commonly known industrial diseases is mesothelioma, a form of cancer caused by asbestos.

More than 2,500 people in the UK died from mesothelioma in 2020.

The dangers of asbestos are widely known, but this dangerous material was used for many years and is still common across the UK. Some other diseases caused by asbestos are

Asbestosis
Lung cancer

The effects of asbestos exposure may not be seen for many decades. If you were exposed to asbestos as part of your work and have seen your doctor because of mesothelioma, asbestos, lung cancer or breathing difficulty, contact us for advice.

For Adrian Cormack, Partner and Head of the Personal Injury Department:

“I would recommend you to my colleagues, friends and family should anyone need advice and helpful service from Coles Miller Solicitors. Your service was excellent indeed.”

A pedestrian hit by a car wrote to thank Brian Parsons, Personal Injury Executive:

“I would like to express my thanks to Coles Miller and in particular yourself. I had received a letter from the driver's solicitor and I was not clear about some of the content. Believing I had no relevant insurance, I contacted Coles Miller. You suggested contacting my house and contents insurance provider. To my astonishment I did in fact have cover on this policy. Thanks again Brian for your excellent advice.”

"Thank you so much for sorting this out for me, especially so close to Christmas. I've really appreciated your support and also that of your team so much since embarking on this experience. I would most certainly recommend you and your team to anyone who finds themselves in the same predicament of a personal injury claim.

"Crispin dealt with our case and was excellent in every way throughout the whole process. From our first meeting to the end of it he kept us well informed and explained everything clearly to keep us updated throughout. He is a credit to the company and would definitely recommend him to friends and family in the future."
