What steps should a worker take if they believe their job has caused a serious health condition?
What steps should a worker take if they believe their job has caused a serious health condition, and how can proper reporting, medical proof, and legal support help them receive fair compensation?
If a worker believes their job has caused a serious health condition, they should take the following steps:
-
Report the issue to their employer immediately – this creates an official record of the work-related illness.
-
Seek medical attention – getting a doctor’s diagnosis and medical records is essential evidence that links the workplace exposure to the health condition.
-
Gather supporting proof – such as workplace safety reports, witness statements, or proof of exposure to harmful substances.
-
Contact a specialist industrial disease solicitor – legal experts can assess eligibility for compensation and guide workers through the claim process.
Claim Time Solicitors can support affected workers by handling the legal process, calculating compensation, and ensuring deadlines are met. They also offer no win no fee industrial disease claims, allowing workers to pursue compensation without paying upfront legal costs.
