The solicitor of a cancer survivor from Bradford is looking for information about his working conditions.

Thompsons Solicitors is representing the man after he developed bladder cancer in 2007.

He has undergone surgery to remove the tumour, but his condition is still under careful review. He has not been able to return to work and is fearful that the cancer will return.

The 48-year-old has never smoked, but has worked with potentially cancer-causing chemicals for a number of different companies in the Bradford area.

Thompsons Solicitors are Industrial Disease Claims Specialists

Following his diagnosis he was advised by his doctors that his condition may be caused by work. He instructed industrial disease claims specialists Thompsons Solicitors to seek advice about whether he may be entitled to compensation.

Thompsons are trying to build up a picture of what chemicals and other materials he was exposed to and are pursuing a number of different lines of enquiry.
