Asbestos Compensation Claims

The most common cause of work related deaths in the UK is asbestos. Asbestos is a natural substance, widely used for insulation, which becomes a danger if you are exposed to a high number of asbestos fibres. Asbestos related diseases are often extremely serious and, although symptoms of the disease do not become apparent at the time of the exposure – but, often many, many years later – if you are not properly protected from a high level of asbestos fibres at work, or elsewhere, you are at risk of developing a serious disease. If you are suffering from an asbestos related disease you may be wondering whether you can make a claim and how much compensation you are likely to receive. You need someone to advise you and answer these questions for you. Loyalty Law can help you quickly and efficiently and our service for you is completely free of charge.

Main asbestos diseases

The four main types of diseases caused by being exposed to asbestos are:

• Mesothelioma
• Lung cancer
• Asbestosis
• Diffuse pleural thickening

These diseases vary in severity and in the impact they have on your life and some of the diseases are fatal.

Symptoms of asbestos related diseases

The symptoms of asbestos related diseases include shortness of breath, a persistent cough, loss of appetite and chest tightness. If you have any of these symptoms and believe you may have been exposed to asbestos you should visit your GP as soon as possible so that a diagnosis can be made.

Making a claim for compensation for asbestos related diseases

If you feel that, through someone else’s negligence or lack of care, you have been exposed to asbestos – and as a result you have suffered an asbestos related disease - you may be able to make a claim for compensation. However, due to the nature of asbestos related diseases (namely that symptoms do not present until many years after the exposure) claims can often be complicated as, for example, the person you were working for when suffering the exposure may no longer be in business.
