Asbestosis is an occupational disease arising from prolonged exposure to asbestos in the workplace. In England, a solicitor specialising in Occupational Health Law handles claims against an employer or their insurer for compensation due to workplace exposure and resulting lung disease, often alongside related negligent or vicarious liability theories. They gather medical evidence, liaise with occupational health experts, and draft and pursue claims for damages, including loss of earnings, care needs, and suffered pain. Cases may involve investigations into health and safety failures and regulatory compliance by the employer.
The solicitor handles complex evidence on causation, multiple medical opinions, and the connection between exposure and disease, plus interactions with insurers, employers, and medical experts. The work involves navigating disease-specific evidentiary requirements, collecting employment histories, and pursuing settlements or court actions under UK personal injury legislation and employers' liability schemes.
