Industrial disease
Industrial Disease
Employers have a duty of care to their employees to protect their health, safety, and wellbeing.
If they fail in that role, and someone has been injured or falls ill as a result, a claimant may be entitled to make an industrial disease claim via their solicitor.
Industrial disease claims are often more complicated than other personal injury claims to progress and prove and as a result, can create substantial disbursement costs and ultimately take longer to settle.
Prosperity Insurance are able to source after the event ATE insurance for the following industrial diseases:
Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL)
Mesothelioma and Asbestosis
Carpel Tunnel Syndrome
Vibration White Finger (VWF)
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
This list is not exhaustive and we are continually developing what covers we can offer in response to our client’s needs. If your practice is seeking a fast, simple, online facility with competitive premiums you should contact us.

Industrial disease after the event ATE insurance can cover the (sometimes large) disbursements that are incurred during these types of cases. This is especially valuable in situations where the matter is being handled by the solicitor on a conditional fee (‘no win, no fee’) agreement.
This type of ATE arrangement will also cover the defendants’ costs and disbursements (adverse costs) if the case against them fails. The final comfort for the client/claimant is that the ATE premiums are usually offered on a fully deferred premium payment basis, are only payable on successful cases and are fully self-insured.
If you are a lawyer that deals with industrial disease cases and your clients have cases that you would like to pursue on their behalf, you need to talk to us. We can help to find an after the event insurance solution that will help to reduce your clients’ concern and stress about potential legal costs, so they can focus their attention on helping you win their case.

ATE
Insurance
ATE Insurance is an insurance policy that protects and covers a client who wants to pursue a claim against the risk of having to pay their opponents legal costs and disbursements if the case is unsuccessful.
Conveyancing Indemnities
As an experienced provider of ATE insurance to lawyers and their clients, we are well aware that the profession also has a need for other client-facing legal indemnities. One of the most frequent requests we get from solicitors is for legal indemnities for conveyancing transactions.
