Silicosis is a serious and incurable lung disease caused by inhaling fine silica dust commonly found in construction, mining, and manufacturing industries. Prolonged exposure to silica dust can lead to significant lung damage, severely affecting your quality of life and ability to work or carry out everyday tasks. Silicosis also increases the risk of developing lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with silicosis due to workplace exposure, we’ll help you claim compensation for the harm and suffering caused by this preventable disease.
We specialise in occupational silicosis claims, ensuring victims receive the financial support they deserve. We can help with:
Compensation claims for silicosis
Applications for related benefits (e.g. Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit)
Occupational silicosis is often caused by employers failing to provide suitable PPE, or not taking reasonable measures to reduce exposure.

We handle every detail of your claim, ensuring the legal process is as smooth as possible, allowing you to focus on your health while we take care of your case with care and expertise.

Glass and metal manufacturing workers
Sandblasters
Stonemasons
