Understanding Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure

Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that develops in the thin layer of tissue that covers various organs, most often the lungs (pleural mesothelioma). Exposure to asbestos fibres, often found in older buildings and industrial environments, is the primary cause. When these fibres are inhaled or ingested, they can become lodged in the body, leading to inflammation, scarring, and eventually mesothelioma.

No Win No Fee Mesothelioma Claims

We operate on a no-win, no-fee basis, meaning you won’t have any upfront costs to pursue your claim. This approach allows you to focus on your health while our team handles the legal aspects. You will only pay a fee if your claim is successful, ensuring you can submit your claim regardless of your financial circumstances.

Common Causes of Mesothelioma

Asbestos exposure has been linked to various high-risk industries and occupations, including:

Construction and demolition: Workers who handled asbestos-containing materials like insulation, pipes, or drywall.
Shipbuilding and repair: Asbestos was widely used in ships for its fire-resistant properties.
Manufacturing and mining: Asbestos was common in the manufacturing of machinery and equipment.
Engineering and electrical work: Insulation and electrical components often contain asbestos.
Car mechanics: Asbestos was used in brake pads, clutches, and other vehicle components.

If you worked in any of these environments or were indirectly exposed to asbestos, you could be at risk of developing mesothelioma.

Contact us if you suspect you developed mesothelioma due to the negligence of someone, and we will guide you through the claim process and offer all the support you need.

How Mesothelioma Claims Work

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you have the right to pursue compensation. Mesothelioma claims are designed to cover a range of expenses, including medical treatments, lost income, and other costs associated with your illness. Claims can also provide support for family members affected by a loved one’s diagnosis.

Key Steps in Filing a Mesothelioma Claim

Obtain a Diagnosis: A confirmed diagnosis of mesothelioma is essential to start your claim. Medical records and tests provide the necessary proof of the condition and the impact it has on your life.
Gather Employment History: Document your work history, especially the jobs where you worked in high-risk industries, or were exposed to asbestos.
Contact Our Mesothelioma Solicitors: Consult with our experienced mesothelioma solicitors who can evaluate your case, gather evidence, and handle the legal process.
Submit Your Claim: Once your case is prepared, we will submit the claim on your behalf, ensuring all the necessary evidence is included.

Our dedicated team will guide you through each of these steps, offering support and expertise throughout the whole process.

Am I Eligible to Make a Mesothelioma Claim?

You may be eligible to make a mesothelioma compensation claim if:

Your diagnosis is related to asbestos exposure: Your mesothelioma must be connected to asbestos exposure, whether directly or indirectly.
Exposure occurred at work: If you were exposed to asbestos due to your occupation or employer’s negligence, you have grounds to pursue a claim.
Our experienced mesothelioma solicitors can help assess your eligibility and gather the necessary documentation to support your case.

What Compensation Can I Receive?

Compensation in mesothelioma claims varies depending on the severity of the case, the level of asbestos exposure, and the financial impact on the victim and their family. Most of the time, the compensation covers:

Medical Expenses: Costs for treatments, medications, and specialist consultations.
Lost Income: Compensation for lost earnings due to your illness.
Care and Support: Costs for care services or modifications to your home if needed.
Pain and Suffering: Compensation for the physical and emotional impact of mesothelioma.

Our mesothelioma solicitors will work to secure the maximum possible compensation to support you and your loved ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

Read all FAQs

How long do I have to file a mesothelioma claim?

Generally, mesothelioma claims must be filed within three years of your diagnosis. If you are filing on behalf of a loved one who passed away, the three-year limit starts from the date of their death. Exceptions may apply, so it’s best to consult us as soon as possible.

Can I still make a claim if my exposure was many years ago?

Yes, because mesothelioma has a long latency period, claims often involve asbestos exposure from decades ago. Documenting your employment history and exposure details will be key to establishing a strong case.

What if my former employer is no longer in business?

If your former employer has gone out of business, you may still be able to make a claim. Compensation may be sought from insurance policies held by the company at the time of exposure. An experienced solicitor can help locate the appropriate insurance and pursue your claim.

Can family members of a mesothelioma victim make a claim?

Yes, family members can file a claim if a loved one has passed away from mesothelioma. This is typically known as a “dependents claim” and covers financial losses and emotional distress caused by the loss of a family member.
