Asbestos related claims
Coping with an asbestos related disease can be a difficult and worrying time for both you and your family.
An employer has a duty to protect their employee’s health and safety whilst at work. However, many workers have been exposed to asbestos as a result of employer’s failing to take the necessary precautions in breach of their legal duties.
You may have been exposed to asbestos many years ago but only recently developed symptoms. It may be you are concerned that the company you worked for no longer exists or has been taken over and that you will not be able to claim. This is why it is important to instruct a specialist lawyer who has experience in dealing with these claims and who will know how to trace companies and their insurers to enable you to proceed with your case.
It is important for a number of reasons in these cases to seek legal advice promptly.
Our specialist lawyers will work hard to ensure that your claim is dealt with quickly and sympathetically in order to obtain compensation to provide for your own or your family’s financial needs and for any care you may require as a result of your illness.
Asbestos related diseases include the following illnesses:
- Mesothelioma
- Asbestosis
- Lung Cancer
- Diffuse Pleural Thickening
- Pleural plaques
