An industrial disease is a condition or illness caused by exposure to dangerous substances or unsafe conditions in the workplace. 

M&K Solicitors have extensive experience in bringing claims on behalf of those injured as a result of exposure to dangerous substances or unsafe conditions in the workplace.

We do not represent employers.

Our aim is to ensure that we, on behalf of the injured employee, obtain the highest possible levels of compensation for injuries and financial losses arising as a result of exposure to dangerous substances or unsafe conditions in the workplace.

We represent employees who have suffered injury as a result:

• Exposure to harmful substances including (but not limited to) chemicals, asbestos, dust and latex
• Repetitive workon production lines and other work environments
• Repetitive manual handling leading to back injury
• Use of vibratory tools
• Repeated consistent exposure to excessive noise

We act on behalf of clients who have sustained a range of accumulated injuries as a result of their work including but not limited to:

• Musculoskeletal injuries including back pain
• Work related lung disease including silicosis, asthma, asbestosis and mesothelioma
• Repetitive strain injury
• Damage to muscles/tendons
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Vibration white finger/Reynaud’s Syndrome
• Skin disease/dermatitis
• Deafness
• Tinnitus
• Fatalities, where we act on behalf of the families of those that, unfortunately, have died as a result of fatal conditions contracted by their work.
• Other “accumulative” injuries which have occurred due to work

We obtain compensation for our clients for the injuries suffered and also for the financial losses arising as a result of medical conditions contracted as a result of their system of work or exposure to dangerous substances.

Financial losses typically include loss of earnings, loss of pension, the cost of care, travel, medication, and the cost of medical treatment and rehabilitation (both past and future).

In fatal cases, the financial losses will include funeral costs and a claim for “loss of dependency”.
