Start a Legionnaires' Disease Claim

How Do I Start A Legionnaires’ Disease Claim?

If you or someone you care for has contracted Legionnaires’ Disease due to factors outside your control, it is likely that you will want some compensation to make up for the pain, suffering, fear and stress of being dangerously ill.

The first step in making a claim for compensation is identifying that it is / was Legionnaires’ Disease from which you or your loved one suffered – the GP or your hospital notes will likely help to confirm that.

The next step is to contact Mercury Legal. Our friendly team of experienced solicitors are on hand now to listen to your story and help you decide on the best way forward. While we ourselves are not medical experts, we frequently use the services of specialist doctors and medical investigators in order to establish who was responsible for the failures that led to your illness.

It might be difficult to pinpoint exactly where or how you contracted the disease, but due to our familiarity with these types of cases, we have expert engineers and chemists available to assist in confirming these details. Depending on the source of the outbreak, many others might have been infected from the same source, and by working with other experts in the industry links can be identified that can help in tracing that original source.

Personal injury cases such as these must be made within three years of the illness or injury taking place, so don’t put off contacting us. If you decide you don’t wish to pursue case, you are under no obligation to do so.

Gathering the appropriate evidence and tracking down the right experts can sometimes take time, so the sooner you contact us, the sooner we can make a start on getting you the compensation that you deserve.
