Exposure to asbestos, silica, dust, fumes, or chemicals could cause related diseases later in life. If you’ve developed a disease due to exposure at work or at home for example while doing renovations, you may be eligible to claim compensation. It’s important to be aware of any significant exposure and document this, regardless of how recent or long ago it was.
