Asbestos Compensation Claims

Back to Accident at Work Claims

Asbestos-related diseases have a long incubation or latency period and symptoms may develop between ten and 40 years after the exposure. X-rays and CT scans can identify whether an asbestos related condition may be present and lung function tests establish whether the condition may be causing breathing difficulties. Not all asbestos- related conditions are symptomatic.

Asbestos fibres can affect the lung, its lining (pleura) and occasionally the lining of the stomach. Several diseases can be caused by occupational exposure to asbestos including:

• Pleural Plaques
• Pleural Thickening and effusions
• Lung Cancer
• Asbestosis (Interstitial fibrosis)
• Mesothelioma

Our panel of personal injury solicitors will discuss your case claim for compensation if you have been negligently exposed to asbestos and suffered an asbestos-related illness. Where this has occurred in the workplace they will seek compensation against your employer or employer’s insurer.
