By their very definition, industrial diseases are invariably suffered by employees through no fault of their own.
This is how one of the leading web-based dictionaries defines an industrial disease:
Disease or disability resulting from conditions of employment (usually from long exposure to a noxious substance or from continuous repetition of certain acts).
A read of this definition can quickly explain why people who suffer from an industrial disease have such a high success rate in claiming industrial disease compensation.
This is because once diagnosis of an industrial disease has been established, unless there are any unusual complicating factors, all an industrial disease compensation claimant need do is prove a causal link between his or her past working conditions and the industrial disease he or she suffers from.
Unfortunately, for anyone who has developed an occupational disease in the course of being self-employed it is not usually possible to claim industrial disease compensation. However, in some rare instances it may still be possible to claim industrial disease compensation against the manufacturer of the noxious substance responsible for causing the occupational disease.
Awards of industrial disease compensation
The amount of compensation awarded under an industrial disease claim will vary greatly depending on the type of industrial disease suffered by the claimant.
For example, a florist who develops a dermatological condition such as eczema or psoriasis in the course of his or her occupation will be awarded substantially less industrial disease compensation than a construction worker or ship builder who develops an asbestos-related illness in the course of his or her occupation.
This is because asbestos-related industrial diseases such as asbestosis and mesothelioma are at the far end of an industrial disease scale of severity.
The majority of asbestos-related industrial diseases are both fatal and incurable and amounts of industrial disease compensation should be calculated to reflect this. The impact of asbestos-related illnesses on both sufferers and their families is tragic and unquantifiable; this is why amounts of industrial disease compensation awarded for asbestos-related conditions will usually run into hundreds of thousands of pounds.
