Industrial Injury Claim​

A claim for industrial disease is usually a claim for a type of affliction that affects other people in the same type of the work as you. For example, if it can be proved that other coalminers have lung problems, it can be classified as industrial disease. This is different from slipping in the kitchen of an office due to water on the floor, or a box falling on your head due to its being precariously balance on a high shelf. However, you may be eligible for compensation regardless of whether it’s classified as industrial disease or personal injury.
