Industrial diseases are health conditions that arise from exposure to harmful substances or dangerous working conditions. These conditions can have devastating and sometimes irreversible effects on an individual’s health. In Cheltenham, individuals suffering from industrial diseases have legal avenues to seek compensation. Pembridge Solicitors specializes in representing these clients, providing extensive legal support from the initial assessment through to resolution.

Types of Industrial Disease Claims
Industrial diseases cover a wide array of conditions. Here’s an in-depth look at some of them:
- Asbestos-Related Illnesses: Exposure to asbestos in industries like construction and manufacturing can lead to severe diseases like mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis. These conditions often have long latency periods and may appear years after exposure.
- Hearing Loss: Constant exposure to loud noise in workplaces such as factories can result in hearing impairments, significantly impacting one’s quality of life.
- Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSIs): These are chronic and painful conditions caused by repetitive work actions. They can include ailments like carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis.
- Respiratory Disorders: Harmful chemicals, dust, and fumes can cause or exacerbate breathing problems, leading to diseases like asthma and chronic bronchitis.
- Dermatitis: Contact with irritants and allergens may result in skin inflammation and other related conditions, often affecting those in the cleaning, catering, and health sectors.
Each of these categories has specific legal considerations, and our team at Pembridge Solicitors is well-versed in all aspects of industrial disease claims, ensuring that we can tailor our approach to your unique situation
