Industrial workers are
always prone to some sort of diseases. While some of these diseases may be minor
in nature, others can be life threatening. For example, asbestosis has been a
major industrial disease which has lead to many asbestos claims in recent
years. Similarly, workers who work without adequate safety measures can get
affected by a number of diseases such as Silicosis; noise induced hearing loss,
lung cancer, asthma, as well as odd disease associated with psychological stress
e.g. occupational stress.
When filing industrial disease claims, one should always bear in mind that it
can be hard to prove that the disease is related to the workplace and therefore,
one must file the claim shortly after leaving the job (if not during one's tenure)
and ensure that he/she has proper proof against the accused party.
A good way of acquiring required
information and filing a strong case is to hire a lawyer who takes up cases on
a no win, no fee basis. It is advised that you should go for a specialist
lawyer who does not charge clients with extravagant legal expenses and banks on
winning the case to claim compensation from the accused party. In the wake of
global recession, such services are currently being offered by many law firms,
especially "claim companies". You can search for some renowned
companies which offer specialist "claims lawyers" by referring to online
forums, yellow pages and via search engines.
