Details of your employment history is crucial, we usually require a detailed work history to include all employers since leaving school and describing all the jobs that brought you into contact with the conditions that have caused your illness or injury. Some clients have had numerous employers and find it difficult to recall specific details and to assist we will obtain a work history from the National Insurance Contributions Office.

Also, some defendants may have ceased trading and we can take various steps to try and identify the insurers during your period of employment.

If your disease was caused by your employment you may be able to make a claim for Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit. The amount you are entitled to will depend on your age and the severity of your disability. This is something we can advise upon and consider with you.
