Who Can Make an Asbestosis Compensation Claim?

Claiming for asbestos-related diseases

Asbestos exposure has been linked to severe and life-changing illnesses, including mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. These diseases often develop decades after initial exposure, leaving individuals and their families facing physical, emotional, and financial challenges. If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, you may be entitled to compensation, and our experienced team of solicitors is here to help.

Professions at Risk of Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos was widely used in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and shipbuilding before its dangers were fully understood. Many workers in these sectors were unknowingly exposed to asbestos fibers, placing them at significant risk of developing related illnesses. Professions commonly affected include:

• Construction workers: Builders, electricians, carpenters, bricklayers, plumbers, and labourers.
• Engineers and shipyard workers: Especially those involved in ship repairs and manufacturing.
• Mechanics: Particularly those working with brakes or clutches containing asbestos.
• Painters and decorators: Exposure often occurred during renovation projects.
• Demolition workers: Handling older structures with asbestos-containing materials.
• Steel workers and power plant workers: Frequently exposed in industrial settings.
• Insulation workers: Regularly working with asbestos-based insulation products.
• Other occupations: Asbestos was used extensively in many industries and professions. If you worked in a profession not mentioned above, please do still contact us to see if we can help.  

If you worked in one of these professions and have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, it is vital to seek legal advice as soon as possible. Time limits do apply to bringing a legal case, although sometimes when asbestos related injuries are concerned the Courts can be willing to exercise their discretionary powers to extend the time limits beyond those usually allowed.
