Mesothelioma Claims

If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you can make a claim for compensation.

You are entitled to make a claim for mesothelioma even if . . .

  • Exposure to asbestos took place many years ago
  • You have worked for numerous employers
  • Your employer went out of business years ago
  • You were self employed or a contractor at the time of exposure

Many companies were aware of the dangers of asbestos exposure, but still put their employees at risk through contact with asbestos fibres in the workplace. Legally those companies are held responsible for individuals developing mesothelioma. There is no limit to the number of companies that you may claim mesothelioma compensation from.

Our service is completely free of charge and we guarantee that you will receive 100% of any compensation awarded

Our solicitors recover their costs from the companies where the exposure to asbestos took place

Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos was used widely as an insulating material because of its excellent heat and fire resistant properties. The link between asbestos and mesothelioma has been known since the 1960s, however there was heavy use of asbestos in industry until the mid 1970s.

People who have been exposed to asbestos on a regular basis - working with the material or through contact in the working environment, will be more at risk from developing mesothelioma. Asbestos fibres that are sealed into finished products such as insulating boards and pipe lagging are not considered a health risk as long as they are not damaged. It is only when the asbestos fibres are freed and inhaled that they become a health risk to an individual.

Workers at high risk of developing mesothelioma cancer include . . .

  • Shipyard workers
  • Plumbers
  • Gas fitters
  • Painters
  • Construction workers
  • Carpenters
  • Builders
  • Electricians
  • Sheet metal workers
  • Welders
  • Plasterers
  • Telephone engineers

People who worked with asbestos may have taken the fibres home on their clothes and occasionally family members of such workers have also developed mesothelioma. It is still possible to claim Mesothelioma Compensation under these circumstances.

Mesothelioma Compensation

You can claim if you were diagnosed with Mesothelioma within the last 3 years. It is possible for family members to make a claim for Mesothelioma compensation on behalf of a deceased relative, provided it is within 3 years of the date of death.

We always treat our clients with compassion, dignity and respect. We also recognise that the compensation awarded cannot possibly compensate for the pain and suffering caused by mesothelioma, but it can help to make things a little more comfortable for you and your family.
