Yes, self-employed workers can make an industrial disease claim in the UK in certain situations. If your illness was caused by exposure to hazardous working conditions while working for a company, contractor, or former employer, you may still be entitled to compensation. What matters most is who was responsible for health and safety at the time of exposure, not your current employment status.

If a business failed to provide proper protection, training, or a safe working environment, you could have a valid claim for an occupational illness or work-related disease. Evidence such as medical records, work history, and witness statements can help support your case.

Claim Time Solicitors specialise in industrial disease cases and can assess your situation, gather evidence, and handle your claim on a No Win No Fee basis, making it easier to pursue compensation without financial risk.
