Industrial disease
Industrial Disease
Employers have a duty of care to their employees to protect their health, safety, and wellbeing.
If they fail in that role, and someone has been injured or falls ill as a result, a claimant may be entitled to make an industrial disease claim via their solicitor.
Industrial or occupational disease claims are often more complicated than other personal injury claims to progress and prove and as a result, can create substantial disbursement costs and ultimately take longer to settle.
Prosperity Insurance are able to source after the event ATE insurance for the following industrial diseases:
This list is not exhaustive and we are continually developing what covers we can offer in response to our client’s needs. If your practice is seeking a fast, simple, online facility with competitive premiums you should contact us.
Industrial disease after the event ATE insurance can cover the (sometimes large) disbursements that are incurred during these types of cases. This is especially valuable in situations where the matter is being handled by the solicitor on a conditional fee (‘no win, no fee’) agreement.
This type of ATE arrangement will also cover the defendants’ costs and disbursements (adverse costs) if the case against them fails. The final comfort for the client/claimant is that the ATE premiums are usually offered on a fully deferred premium payment basis, are only payable on successful cases and are fully self-insured.
