It is a sad fact that thousands of people in Britain live with a chronic and potentially life-threatening industrial disease, without even knowing it. However, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a serious and debilitating lung disease that, if caused by workplace conditions, can be considered compensable with the help of a no win, no fee lawyer.
For those across the country whose COPD remains undiagnosed, there is a real risk that they could miss out on treatments, advice, and medical support – a situation which could prove fatal.
As a term, COPD includes a broad range of respiratory conditions, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Although there is no cure for COPD, it is treatable and its progress can be managed, provided the patient receives the right kind of intervention.
As an industrial disease, it typically affects miners or factory workers who might have suffered exposure to fumes and dust in the workplace setting. Once this has happened the body's airways may work less efficiently, resulting in a reduction of airflow, both in and out of the lungs.
COPD may vary from a manageable condition to a debilitating industrial disease. COPD ailments may include asbestosis, bronchitis, silicosis, pneumonocosis, emphysema, mesothelioma, asthma, byssinosis and pleural thickening.
One specialist doctor from Sheffield comments, "Respiratory disease is the third-largest killer in the UK but there is still lack of awareness out there about COPD.
"We need people with symptoms to come forward and get the help they need to live a healthy and active life for longer."
By coming forward and receiving diagnosis, those with COPD may also be able to contact no win, no fee lawyers to claim compensation.
