Chemical Injuries

Chemical injuries can cause painful and severe injuries and can even be fatal. Such injuries can be life-changing and have a massive effect on how you go about your daily life, your ability to work, and the impact it can have on your family, your finances, and your future.

Chemical Injuries

The most recent case of a chemical injuries claim in the UK was in 2022. A woman was awarded over £100,000 after she was exposed to toxic chemicals while working as a cleaner at a hospital. The woman developed severe respiratory problems and had to be hospitalized. She also suffered from chronic pain and fatigue.

The woman sued the hospital for negligence, claiming that they had failed to provide her with adequate safety training and equipment. The hospital denied any wrongdoing, but the case was settled out of court for over £100,000.

This case is a reminder of the importance of taking steps to protect yourself from exposure to toxic chemicals. If you are working with chemicals, make sure that you are properly trained and that you have the proper safety equipment. If you are exposed to toxic chemicals, seek medical attention immediately.

Here are some tips for preventing chemical injuries:

Read and follow all safety labels on chemical products.
Use the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) when working with chemicals.
Store chemicals properly.
Dispose of chemicals properly.
If you are exposed to chemicals, seek medical attention immediately.

By following these tips, you can help to prevent chemical injuries and keep yourself and your loved ones safe.

If your chemical injury was caused due to employer negligence – if they had not providing the right training or equipment for handling chemicals for example – you may be able to make a claim that can help provide treatment and support for as long as you need it.

Frequently asked questions

How are injury claims calculated?

Injury claims are calculated based on the severity of the injury, the impact on the victim’s life, and the amount of compensation available from the liable party. Chemical injuries, which are caused by exposure to harmful substances, can result in serious and long-term damages to the skin, eyes, lungs, and other organs. The compensation for chemical injuries may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and punitive damages in some cases.

What are the two types of injury claims?

The two types of injury claims are personal injury and workers’ compensation. Personal injury claims are filed when someone is injured due to the negligence or fault of another party. Workers’ compensation claims are filed when someone is injured on the job, regardless of fault. Chemical injuries are a common type of workplace injury that can result from exposure to hazardous substances or materials.
