Unfortunately, asbestos remains the biggest cause of work-related deaths in the UK, with symptoms often taking years to develop. This can make seeking compensation difficult and distressing for the sufferer and their family. You can claim for asbestos compensation if you were exposed to asbestos fibres or dust while in the workplace and have gone on to develop one or more of the asbestos-related diseases.
In regions such as the North East of England, employment in heavy industry has come at a significant cost to the health of its workers. Prolonged exposure to dust-laden environments has led to a significant base of health problems in mining, quarrying, construction and shipbuilding. Silicosis, Welders' Lung (Siderosis of the lung), Kaolin Pneumoconiosis, and Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis are all conditions brought on by prolonged exposure to dust.
There are several cancers that can be caused in the workplace, usually due to exposure to organic chemicals, oils, or solvents, many used or formerly used in the old heavy industries in the North East. If you or a loved one suspect that you have contracted cancer through your occupation, particularly lung, skin, bladder, nasal or oesophageal cancer then Browell Smith and Co Solicitors may be able to assist you.
Hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS), also known as vibration white finger (VWF), causes pain and numbness of the hands and fingers following protracted exposure to vibration from the use of vibrating tools.
Browell Smith & Co Solicitors has successfully pursued many HAVS claims, for clients who suffered during their lifetime or are suffering from HAVS as a consequence of using vibratory tools or equipment whilst employed, such that no or limited protective equipment was provided and or the vibratory damage was caused by their employment, the tools used not having been modified to reduce the injuries sustained.

I am quite lost for words with regard to the amazing, professional and very caring service I have received from Browell Smith. Separation and Divorce is not a nice experience to have to go through, I can honestly say if it wasn't for Laura Robinson keeping me going with her encouragement, I don't think I would have come out the other side the way I have. Excellent service 5 Star 🌟
