This area covers compensation for injuries caused by exposure to hazardous substances, such as chemical, biological or toxic agents, where a claim seeks redress for harm suffered. A solicitor in this field investigates how exposure occurred, gathers medical and environmental evidence, identifies liable parties such as manufacturers or occupiers, and advances a personal injury claim through the court system. The work also includes advising on settlement opportunities and pursuing appropriate remedies when responsibility is established.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The key risk is ongoing or irreversible harm from exposure, with deadlines in issuing claims and potential liability from multiple defendants. A solicitor protects the client by managing disclosure, instructing experts, and pursuing remedies through the court or an out-of-court settlement, ensuring procedures are followed, and that the client’s position remains clearly defined throughout.
