Personal Injury
Industrial Disease Claims
At WBW our personal injury team have a broad experience in such cases dealing with vibration white finger, deafness and Asbestos claims.
In many of these types of cases people are not aware that they can bring a claim or associate them to the work that they do.
For example vibration white finger is where a person has been using vibratory tools over a prolonged period of time which may result in the whitening of the tips of the fingers leading to numbness and pins and needles.
With asbestos related claims such as mesothelioma, asbestosis or pleural plaques the exposure to asbestos is often many years before any symptoms are experienced. The three year limitation period starts to run from when the diagnosis of an illness is made and not from the date of exposure. As there can often be difficulties in tracing that exposed the person to asbestos it is important that a solicitor is consulted as soon as symptoms are experienced or a diagnosis of illness is made.
These cases are complex and if you consider you may have such a claim it is important that you contact a solicitor immediately for advice.
