Work Related Illness

Diseases such as asbestosis, mesothelioma, asthma and others caused as a result of exposure to harmful dust or asbestos at a place of employment.

What will you need to prove?

In order to make a successful personal injury claim for a car accident that you were involved in, you will need to show that:

• You have suffered an illness; and
• The illness was caused as a result of your employer’s negligence and/or breach of statutory duty. In other words, if your employer had done everything they should have to take reasonable care of your safety at work, the illness would not have occurred.

What can you claim?

If you were involved in a car accident that was not your fault, you may be able to claim:

• Compensation for your illness
• Any reasonable financial losses that were incurred as a direct result of the illness (such as the cost of medication, travel expenses, loss of earnings etc)
