Claims for mesothelioma still possible

There are still some asbestos victims who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, and have still not made a claim for compensation.

• 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.
• It is essential to seek advice from an experienced solicitor within this field who will address the legal practicalities associated with mesothelioma claims.
• Some sufferers do not realise that they are entitled to make a claim for mesothelioma even if:-
  • You have long since left the employment where the exposure to asbestos occurred
  • You have worked for numerous employers
  • You were self employed or a contractor at the time of exposure
  • Exposure to asbestos took place many years ago
  • Your employer went out of business years ago
  • You were a heavy smoker
• It is possible for family members of those who die as a result of mesothelioma to file a mesothelioma claim for compensation on behalf of their deceased relative, provided it is within 3 years of the date of death.
