Can I claim?
Asbestos-related diseases, such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer, and pleural thickening, can have devastating effects on individuals and their families. If you have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness, you may be entitled to compensation—even if the exposure occurred decades ago. Many people are unsure whether they can claim, particularly if they are unable to pinpoint when or where they were exposed. At Russell Worth solicitors, we specialise in handling these complex claims, offering expert guidance and support every step of the way.
Not sure what is wrong?
This is more common than you might think. GP’s and hospitals will not always make it clear what the cause of your problems are. Even if they do mention asbestos, it still is not always easy to recall precisely what condition you have when things like thickening, fibrosis and so on are being mentioned. If you think that you might have an asbestos related illness, we can obtain your medical records and review them for you, at absolutely no cost, to find out exactly what you have been diagnosed with and then advise you accordingly.
Asbestos exposure and timeframes
Asbestos-related diseases often take years – sometimes over 50 years – to develop after initial exposure. This makes it challenging to remember the specific details of your work history. However, our experienced team can help. We can obtain a comprehensive record of your employment history from the Inland Revenue, which may provide crucial information about where and when the exposure occurred.
My employers stopped trading years ago:
Most asbestos-related claims are pursued against employers who have long since ceased trading. Fortunately, this does not prevent you from seeking compensation. We target the insurance companies that provided coverage to these employers, ensuring you still have the opportunity to make a claim. We have access to search tools that can help locate old insurance policies going back many years to trace down the right paymasters to pursue on your behalf.
