Disease claims

Advice and guidance on all aspects of industrial illness and disease for insurers, insurance suppliers and commercial organisations.

Industrial illness and disease are significant areas of concern for many businesses and their insurers.  The health and welfare of employees, and the risk and financial consequences of compensation claims, are issues that can never be ignored.

Weightmans' Disease team is a leader in the provision of claims prevention and management services. Our team of specialist lawyers is focused exclusively on disease, putting us at the cutting edge of developments in this constantly changing field.

Our services are geared entirely to your needs as an insurer, insurance supplier, manufacturer or commercial organisation. We not only handle and defend claims in the most advantageous way for your business, we also help you to prevent future claims by establishing correct working practices. This includes providing tailored training, in-house talks and workshops to help you assess and manage disease.

As part of our service, we constantly analyse trends of diseases in litigation, in order to keep you informed and aware of likely risk areas and minimise the impact of industrial illness and disease on your operations. 

We have unrivalled experience, strength and depth of knowledge of all workplace-related disease claims. We deal with every kind of major test case litigation and class action; we also investigate and handle matters involving complex insurance issues and apportionment.

"With almost every aspect of claims handling now being outsourced, we need absolute trust in the solicitor and need a firm who knows our company and its history inside out. We are lucky to have this with Weightmans"
