Typical Awards For Mesothelioma Compensation

The amount of compensation awarded for mesothelioma is based on age and your particular set of circumstances, but is likely to be between £45,000 and £200,000
Under certain circumstances it may not be possible to claim compensation for mesothelioma. These include the following:
You simply have no idea how or when you may have been in contact with asbestos.
The companies where exposure to asbestos occurred ceased trading many years ago.
You have only been in contact with asbestos while serving in the Armed Forces, usually the Royal Navy.
(The Crown is exempt from prosecution prior to 1987)
Even if you are sure that you fall in to one of the categories above, it is still worth a phone call to exhaust all other possibilities. Mesothelioma can be triggered by a small amount of asbestos so may have been ingested when a building was being refurbished, breathed in when washing the clothes of a spouse who worked with asbestos or from a variety of other sources.
Please call Lynne Manners or Warren Miller on 0800 783 9535 if you would like further advice on whether you may claim compensation for mesothelioma, given your set of circumstances.
If you cannot claim compensation from insurance companies, then the government will provide compensation for mesothelioma under the Pneumoconiosis etc. (Worker’s Compensation) Act of 1979. Details are provided below . . .
