We Solicitors warn of the dangers to workers

Silicosis, a serious lung disease caused by exposure to silica dust, continues to affect workers in construction, manufacturing, stonemasonry, and demolition across Oldham and Greater Manchester. Many people were exposed decades ago without proper protection, and symptoms can take years to develop.

Recent coverage by the Oldham Reporter highlights the ongoing risks and the importance of awareness in local industries.

If you or a loved one worked in dusty environments and are experiencing breathing problems, you may be entitled to compensation. Our specialist team at WE Solicitors is here to provide confidential advice.
