I took out a claim against a company who i consider made me very ill and will get steadilly worse due to there lack of health and safety standards. Can the defence insurers drag it out forever .I feel they are dragging it out in the hope that i will accept anything as my health gets worse.

There are various legitimate reasons, some for your own good , which makes a claim take time.
A competent solicitor knows how to make the pace.

The longer you wait, the more trips to the doctor, the sicker you get; the higher the payment. So don't rush it. What does your lawyer say?

Get a lawyer. He can fight them. If you fight them on your own, you're not gonna see anything.
