Case Three – Skin Disease Claim
Ms R developed eczema (caused by irritant contact dermatitis) over her hands and forearms. She worked as a cleaner and her employer did not provide adequate protection from the abrasive chemicals in cleaning products which she handled daily.
With legal intervention, her employers soon admitted liability and a settlement was reached without having to go to court. She received £4,300 compensation and has now changed careers away from cleaning.
