Occupational diseases

People suffering from an occupational disease may have to overcome several difficulties to obtain compensation.

The declaration and recognition process involves a lot of administrative and medical procedures, and the causal link between the disease and professional activity can be difficult to prove.

The CPAM may also refuse to recognize an occupational disease, particularly one that is not listed in the official tables.

They may also have to contend with their employer, who may dispute the occupational nature of the illness to avoid an increase in their contributions.

Lastly, medical assessments can be stressful and inconvenient.

These obstacles can cause additional stress for victims, who are already weakened by their health.

The LAETHEM LAUCOIN BOUR law firm, which has competence in this matter, defends victims of occupational diseases and provides support and assistance throughout the process of recognizing the pathology and compensating for the resulting loss.

Its lawyers help victims to gather the necessary evidence, establish the causal link between the illness and the professional activity, and contest unfavorable decisions by the CPAM or the employer.

The LAETHEM LAUCOIN BOUR law firm works closely with independent and reputable medical advisors to accurately assess the damage suffered, ensuring that no damage is omitted from the compensation claim.

In the event of a dispute, the lawyers at LAETHEM LAUCOIN BOUR represent the victim before the Social Division of the court, maximising the chances of obtaining fair compensation. They can also negotiate with insurers and counter their strategies to minimise compensation.
