Industrial Disease

Since its inception, industrial disease litigation has been a core area of practice at Liverpool Civil Law. Our Industrial Disease Team has extensive experience representing both claimants and defendants across a wide range of occupational illness claims.

With nationwide expertise, our barristers handle claims involving:

  • Asbestos exposure and work-related cancer claims
  • Noise-induced hearing loss (deafness and tinnitus)
  • Hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS)
  • Occupational asthma and respiratory conditions
  • Dermatitis and skin conditions
  • Repetitive strain injuries and upper limb disorders
  • Work-related stress claims

Compassionate & Strategic Representation

In asbestos and other terminal illness cases, our barristers travel to meet clients nationwide, ensuring they receive prompt and expert legal support. The team is also highly experienced in contested limitation issues, ensuring that claimants are not unfairly denied access to justice due to time restrictions.

We also contribute to the development of industrial disease law, delivering lectures and training on key legal issues affecting this specialist field.

Funding & Accessibility

Where appropriate, cases are undertaken on a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA) basis, providing greater access to justice for claimants.
