Asbestos has many harmful effects which include mesothelioma, pleural plaques, pleural thickening, asbestosis and lung cancer. If you are suffering from any of these asbestos diseases and are likely to have been exposed to asbestos fibres at some point then you may be able to claim for compensation.
Asbestos exposure
Asbestos is a set of minerals that was commonly used for insulation. Many workers within manufacturing industries such as motoring, house hold appliances, building & ship building were exposed to asbestos fibres in the past but it was then discovered that the exposure caused cancer in the lungs. Although the ventilation of asbestos has been regulated in the UK for many years, there are still people being affected by the disease today as the cancer has been known to take up to 40 years to develop.
If asbestos has been the cause of your illness then it’s your right to receive compensation from whoever is responsible for that exposure. In most cases, it is an employer who is responsible. You may have even worked for a few employers in the manufacturing industry so you are unsure exactly when the exposure happened but we will help you with the details.
