What is Industrial and Air Pollution

If you are unfortunate enough to be injured or acquire an illness as a result of air pollution then you may be entitled to make a personal injury compensation claim for the pain and suffering you have endured as a result.

Air pollution is caused by fumes or dust which are released into the air and the pollution can be relatively harmless or extremely dangerous depending on the type of fume or dust and its intensity.

In some cases employees are asked to work surrounded by dangerous fumes or dust without being issued with the necessary protective clothing or any training about how to work with dangerous fumes or dust . In other cases, members of the public have come into contact with polluted air after harmful fumes or dust have been pumped into it from industrial plants. Air has even been polluted to harmful levels following large scale demolition work.

Personal Injury Claim Advice regarding Industrial and Air Pollution

If you or someone you know has been injured or contracted an illness or disease as a direct result of coming into contact with polluted air, you may wish to contact a lawyer for advice. In the meantime; however, it is important that you retain any evidence you may have which supports your exposure and ensure that when you visit your GP / Hospital for treatment you mention the cause of your injury to your doctor. Also remember to retain evidence of any injury-related expenses such as receipts for prescriptions or medication and evidence of travelling expenses.

Providing it can be proven that your injury was caused by your exposure to the polluted air and the person / company who allowed you to come into contact with the pollutant was negligent, then your claim for compensation should be valid.

If you have taken or can take photographs or have documents relating to the hazard, they should be retained as important evidence.
