Claim For Asbestosis Compensation Today

You normally have three years from the date the injured party becomes aware of the diagnosis to start a court action. On very rare occasions, the limit can be changed, but it is best to start proceedings as soon as possible if you think you or a family member has been injured by the inhalation of asbestos.

It will then be necessary to investigate the medical issues and obtain evidence to assess and prove the potential value of the claim.

Many difficulties can arise with cases that might have “started causing problems” over twenty years ago. In particular, the companies may no longer exist.

Specialist asbestos claims solicitors such as ourselves can find out whether the company, or a responsible successor company, can be found and whether there is any insurance still available.

General damages can be awarded for pain, suffering and the overall loss of quality of life caused by exposure to asbestos and resulting illness. Specific damages can be awarded to offset the inability to work, medical costs, and ongoing medical treatment.

    What Is Asbestos?

    industrial disease hand injury

    Asbestos can be found in many buildings and products and is usually safe if not disturbed.

    However, if the asbestos dust and fibres are inhaled, they can cause long-term illness and even be fatal.

    It can take 20 to 30 years from initial exposure until symptoms of asbestos related conditions become apparent to those suffering.

    It is important to talk to your doctor if you have had any past or present jobs with asbestos, have lived with someone who has worked in a job with asbestos risk, have engaged in DIY or other building situations where you might have been exposed to asbestos, or even lived near a building that uses asbestos.

    “My solicitor was excellent in managing my claim and advising me. Thank you for believing in me, believing in my case and winning it for me. Others didn’t and though it was too hard to win against a local council.”
