Chemical injuries we handle

Injury types we can help with

Chemical exposure can cause devastating injuries that affect every part of your body. Whatever you're dealing with, we've handled claims like yours before, and we'll fight for every penny you're owed.

Fire

Chemical burns

From acid splashes to alkali contact. Chemical burns go deeper than thermal burns and keep damaging tissue long after initial exposure.

Lungs

Respiratory damage

Toxic fume inhalation causing asthma, breathing difficulties, and chronic lung disease. The HSE reports 12,000 deaths yearly from workplace lung conditions.

Eye

Eye injuries

Chemical splashes causing immediate pain, blurred vision, and in the worst cases, partial or complete sight loss. Quick treatment is critical.

Skin Rash

Dermatitis & skin conditions

Prolonged chemical exposure causing chronic skin conditions, blistering, and permanent scarring that affects your daily life.

Organ Damage

Internal organ damage

Swallowing or absorbing toxic substances can cause liver, kidney, and digestive system damage that may take months to surface.

Mental Health

Psychological trauma

Anxiety around chemicals, loss of confidence at work, and distress from scarring. The mental impact deserves real compensation.

Common questions

Chemical injury claims FAQ

Everything you need to know about making a chemical injury claim. Can't find your answer? Call us on 0333 006 8282.

If your employer failed to protect you from hazardous chemicals, through inadequate safety equipment, poor training, or unsafe working conditions, you absolutely deserve compensation. Chemical injuries can cause lasting damage including burns, respiratory problems, and long-term health issues.

We see workers struggling with painful injuries, mounting medical bills, and time off work with no income. None of that should be your burden to bear alone. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.

Yes, you can claim if your chemical burn happened because your employer failed to protect you. Whether it's inadequate safety equipment, poor training, or unsafe working conditions, you deserve compensation for your injuries and lost wages. Call us on 0333 006 8282. It's No Win, No Fee¹.

Compensation depends on the severity of your chemical injury and how it has affected your life. Minor chemical burns typically range from £2,370-£7,350, while severe burns with permanent scarring can be worth significantly more. You can also claim for lost earnings, medical bills, and ongoing treatment costs.

Workplace poisoning includes breathing in toxic fumes, absorbing chemicals through your skin, or accidentally ingesting harmful substances at work. It covers everything from industrial solvents to cleaning chemicals that have made you ill. If your employer didn't provide proper protection and you've been poisoned, that's a valid compensation claim.

No. Any employer who dismisses you or treats you unfairly because of a chemical injury claim is breaking the law. Your claim is paid by your employer's liability insurance, not from their pocket.

Every UK employer must have this insurance by law. Filing a claim also helps protect your colleagues by forcing proper safety investigations.

You have three years from when the chemical injury happened, or from when you realised it was caused by workplace negligence. Don't wait though. Evidence gets lost and witnesses forget details. Get in touch now while everything's fresh.

Chemical injuries are a serious workplace problem. The Health and Safety Executive reports that 12,000 people die every year from lung diseases caused by workplace exposure. Thousands more suffer chemical burns, skin conditions, and respiratory problems from inadequate safety measures.

These numbers highlight why it's so important to claim the compensation you're entitled to if you've been injured by chemicals at work.
