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"
