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"
