Industrial Disease Claims — Cumbria's Industrial Heritage
Cumbria has a distinctive industrial history that has left many former workers with occupational health conditions. Key industries and associated conditions include:
Shipbuilding — Barrow-in-Furness
BAE Systems (formerly VSEL and British Shipbuilders) at Barrow has been one of the UK's most significant employers for generations. Shipbuilding work historically involved heavy asbestos exposure — in pipe lagging, boiler insulation, and engine rooms — as well as significant noise exposure in fabrication and fitting shops. Many former Barrow shipyard workers and their families have brought mesothelioma, asbestosis, and noise-induced hearing loss claims.
Nuclear — Sellafield and West Cumbria
The Sellafield nuclear site and associated facilities have employed large numbers of workers in west Cumbria. Construction trades involved in building and maintaining nuclear facilities were exposed to asbestos over many decades. Workers in noisy plant and mechanical environments may also have suffered hearing damage.
Mining — West Cumbrian Coalfield
The west Cumbrian coalfield — centred on Whitehaven and Workington — produced coal for over 200 years before the final pits closed in the 1980s. Former miners and their families may be entitled to claim for conditions including vibration white finger, respiratory disease, and hearing loss under the British Coal compensation schemes or through civil litigation.
Steel and Engineering
Steel production at Workington (Moss Bay and Solway steel works) and engineering and manufacturing across Cumbria created significant noise and vibration exposure for generations of workers. Former employees who developed hearing loss or HAVS during this work may have a valid claim even where their former employer has long since closed.
Road Accidents in Cumbria
Cumbria's road network — including the M6 motorway, the A66 trans-Pennine route, the A595 coastal road, and the mountain passes through the Lake District — sees a significant volume of serious road accidents. We handle road traffic accident claims for injured drivers, passengers, cyclists, motorcyclists and pedestrians across the county.
Medical Negligence — North Cumbria and Westmorland
We handle medical negligence claims arising from treatment at NHS and private healthcare providers across Cumbria — including the Cumberland Infirmary (Carlisle), West Cumberland Hospital (Whitehaven), Westmorland General Hospital (Kendal), and the Furness General Hospital (Barrow). We can also advise on claims arising from GP and dental negligence across the region.
