Even if you were exposed to these working conditions a number of years ago, it may still be possible to claim. Speak to one of our experts now to see if we can help.
The vast majority of people diagnosed with an Industrial Disease in the UK have valuable rights to compensation.
Entitlements
Know your entitlements
If you have been diagnosed with an asbestos or other industrial related disease, it is very likely that you are entitled to compensation.
Compensation may include amounts for:
- Pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life
- Past and future medical expenses
- Past and future loss of income
- The commercial cost of assistance around the home, in the garden and nursing care (even if that assistance is being provided voluntarily by relatives and friends)
- Out of pocket expenses, such as travel to medical appointments
- If your partner or a family member dies as a result of an asbestos related condition, a claim for compensation may still be available to the estate and/or the dependants of the deceased. The claim may be limited to the financial consequences of the death.
Time limits apply to bringing a claim. It is important you get legal advice regarding your potential entitlement to compensation.
