Asbestos claims

If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with an asbestos related disease it can be a distressing and worrying time. We are here to guide and support you through the process of obtaining the compensation that you deserve.

Can I claim for compensation?

If you or your loved one have been diagnosed with one of the following asbestos related illnesses within the last 3 years, we may be able to help you make a claim against the organisation that was responsible for the exposure:

• Mesothelioma
• Lung Cancer
• Asbestosis
• Pleura thickening

But I was exposed many years ago…….

It can take many years for the damage from asbestos exposure to develop, it doesn’t matter when you or they were exposed, provided you bring your claim within 3 years of diagnosis.

What do I do if my old employer has ceased trading?

A lot of client’s worry that the place, usually their previous employer from many years ago is no longer in business. Please don’t let that put you off, our lawyers have access to databases and more often can trace the insurers of the company from may years ago. Provided we can locate insurers and or if the company is still trading we can help.

I only just found out that my loved one had been affected by asbestos after they died, can you still help?

It is not uncommon for asbestos exposure be revealed until after someone has passed away, when their cause of death is being determined. If this is the case, we can still help you provided you us as soon as possible (and within 3 years) of the person dying.

Time Limits

The time limit for making an asbestos related claim is 3 years, that is 3 years from when you were diagnosed with an asbestos related disease or 3 years from when you found out a loved one’s death was caused by an asbestos related disease.
