OCCUPATIONAL ASTHMA COMPENSATION CLAIMS

All employers are bound by the law to ensure the health and safety of their employees whilst at work. If your employer does not make proper risk assessments and they fail to install protective equipment or fail to enforce adequate working practices with the result that workers fall victim to avoidable respiratory illnesses including occupational asthma, then that employer is liable to pay compensation for the effect of any personal injury caused by their unlawful actions.

Occupational asthma is usually caused by inhaling irritants which inflame the airways of the lungs and cause muscles to stiffen. The body then overcompensates by excessive mucus production accompanied by frequent coughing causing the victim to have difficulty breathing. Industries that involve potential exposure to dust or vapours pose a high risk to workers and must maintain a very high standard of safety. If you have been injured by your employer’s unlawful activities you should seek urgent legal advice from an occupational asthma compensation claims solicitor.

Symptoms of occupational asthma include wheezing and tightness in the chest together with frequent coughing, increased mucus production, and difficulty in breathing. If you suffer from these symptoms during or shortly after being at work you should consult a doctor. You should also speak to your employer and ask that measures and mechanisms be put in place to prevent your symptoms. It would also be wise to seek legal advice at an early stage especially if your condition has been going on for some time or is diagnosed as chronic.
