What Is a Chemical Injury Claim?
A chemical injury claim is the legal process of seeking compensation if you have suffered harm from exposure to dangerous chemicals or toxic substances. These injuries can happen at work, in public spaces, or even through defective products. They may cause burns, respiratory conditions, skin diseases, poisoning, or long-term illnesses such as cancer.
Employers, manufacturers, and property owners have a legal duty to protect people from chemical hazards by providing safe equipment, proper training, and adequate protective measures. If they fail in this duty and you are injured, you may be entitled to compensation.
Who Can Claim?
You may be eligible to claim if you were injured due to:
• Exposure to toxic chemicals at work without adequate safety controls
• Direct contact with corrosive or hazardous substances causing burns or rashes
• Inhalation of fumes, dust, or vapours leading to respiratory illness
• Chemical spills, leaks, or explosions in the workplace or public places
• Defective or mislabelled products containing harmful chemicals
• Lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) or poor training in handling substances
Claims can be made by employees, contractors, agency workers, visitors, or consumers—depending on the circumstances.

I am very impressed with the service provided. Thanks to LITKRAFT assistant I was able to prove my innocence. Third party was denying the damages suffered, but we never gave up, resulting in a settlement of compensation that I was really happy with.
If you had an accident – immediately call LITKRAFT. They are true professionals and it really shows, as they can tell you straight away if you have a case. When I had another accident I emailed all details to them and they called me back within 20 min.
Great company, fantastic staff who are just a phone call away to help. They were very patient in explaining every document received from solicitors or doctors. When we first started the claims process, the other party tried to deny liability, but LITKRAFT solicitor fought my case in court and won it. I was delighted with the process and I couldn’t have asked for anything more from LITKRAFT.
