Occupational asthma is an inflammatory disease of the airways characterised by reversible airflow obstruction. A frustrating and dangerous condition, asthma can be triggered at work – known as an ‘asthma attack’ – by the inhalation of irritants such as toxic dusts, gases, fumes, and vapours.
Asthma may be hereditary, or may result from environmental factors, like occupational asthma. While hereditary cases of asthma have usually been diagnosed before a person reaches physical maturity, occupational cases may develop in later life. Existing cases of hereditary asthma may also be heightened by exposure to dangerous workplace chemicals and substances. It may take a few months after exposure for occupational asthma symptoms to develop.
If you contract work-related asthma at work due to the inhalation of grains, enzymes, dusts, or other respiratory hazards, you can make a compensation claim. The claim relies on being able to prove that your developing the condition probably results from your employer’s negligence of health and safety best practices. This may sometimes be difficult.
An experienced industrial disease solicitor can make the process easier, building a case which will be difficult to defend against. There is usually a three-year time limit after your diagnosis of asthma has been given in which you can make a compensation claim. However, there are exceptions. Our solicitors can provide expert occupational asthma claim advice in a free consultation if you are unsure.
The Control Of Substances Hazardous To Health Regulations (COSHH) were written to ensure regulations to protect workers from negligent exposure to harmful materials such as chemicals, enzymes, and allergenic substances would be implemented nationwide. Under these regulations, your employer must remove or reduce the risk of exposure to hazardous substances as much as possible. If your exposure to an irritant has incurred or heightened the onset of asthma during work, you may be entitled to claim compensation for occupational asthma due to their breach of COSHH.
The amount of compensation paid out – not just in claims for occupational asthma, but in all industrial disease claims – is dependent on the circumstances and evidence available. Common factors which have an influence on how much you are paid depend on whether or not you showed symptoms of asthma prior to working for your employer, the amount of substances you have been exposed to, and the severity of your symptoms. Any evidence you can provide our solicitors with, such as the testimonies of co-workers who have also been diagnosed with asthma, will often increase the chances of success in your industrial disease claim.
All our industrial disease claims take into account actual, medically-proven pain and suffering and the extent, any loss of earnings caused, and the psychological effects of being let down by someone you have trusted to safeguard your health. When you begin the claims procedure, your solicitor will provide you with an ideal figure and a realistic minimum estimate of your winnings. As part of our philosophy of transparency, you will be kept up to date with any changes as the case progresses.
