Start a Silica Dust Exposure Claim

How Do I Start A Silica Dust Exposure Claim?

If you or someone you care for has suffered as a result of exposure to silica dust (RCS) and you believe that this has arisen as a result of negligence in your workplace, then you are likely to be eligible to make a claim for compensation. It might seem quite daunting to enter legal proceedings against your employer as you’re likely to be facing a range of new challenges as a result for the illness or lung damage that you are enduring, but rest assured; our solicitors are here to help.

The most important first step is getting your immediate medical treatment in place so that any further damage can be reduced and symptoms can be managed as effectively as possible. Once that is in order, your doctor should be able to give you a diagnosis of what condition you are suffering from and should be able to establish a link with the inhalation of silica dust. 

The next stage is to contact one of our friendly, highly experienced solicitors. We have a huge amount of experience in handling claims of this type, and if employers contest their liability we can employ the services of medical specialists in order to prove responsibility.

When you get in touch with us, we are likely to ask a range of questions about your situation and how it affects you, so as to build a picture of what has happened and who is at fault. We can liaise with your doctor to provide more detailed information that you might not be so familiar with. 

Claims of this nature must be started within specific time-limits, so don’t put it off – you’re not alone, we’re here to help you get the compensation pay out that you and your family deserve.

Contact us today, either by calling us free on 0800 028 2060, or by requesting a free call back, whereby one of our team will contact you at a time of your choice, to discuss your situation.
