Mesothelioma Claims

  • If you or a member of your family have recently
    received a diagnosis of Mesothelioma, you will no
    doubt be keen to find out what help is available
    for those in your position. Apart from the
    obvious help you will need in dealing with
    illness and the trauma that surrounds it, you may
    be eligible to make a Mesothelioma claim for
    compensation. Compensation is paid where there is
    proven blame for the disease. However there are
    special rules for making a Mesothelioma
    compensation claim and you should take legal
    advice as soon as possible.
  • In the UK a Mesothelioma compensation claim can
    be lodged by anyone affected by the disease which
    mainly develops in people whose work involves
    exposure to asbestos.
  • Asbestos is a mineral which was first mined
    during the 1800's and used on a regular basis
    from the time of the Second World War until the
    1970's in the construction of many buildings.
  • If you have previously been exposed to asbestos
    containing material and are suffering with
    mesothelioma as a consequence, you are entitled
    to make a claim for compensation.

  • In the past many manufacturers and distributors
    of such materials were aware of the dangers of
    exposure and chose not to warn the workers,
    thinking only of their fat profits.
  • As a result of this neglect, you may be eligible
    to receive a payment in order to help towards the
    cost of your treatment and to compensate you for
    the pain and suffering you are going through.
  • Mesothelioma symptoms can take up to 60 years
    after exposure to appear but many cases develop
    anything from fifteen years after the initial
    association with asbestos.

  • Cases of the disease have been on the increase
    over the last 20 years, and although research on
    the subject of early testing is ongoing, the
    disease carries a poor prognosis.
  • Symptoms experienced by those suffering with the
    disease are likely to include the following
  • A shortness of breath caused by fluid resting
    between the chest wall and the lung
  • Pain in the chest wall area
  • Weight loss
  • In order to make a mesothelioma compensation
    claim, start by asking us a question in the box
    above and submitting details surrounding your
    case. Our claims experts are experienced in
    dealing with this type of claim and will be able
    to provide you with the advice you need in under
    an hour.

  • We will need to have full details of the facts
    in order to put your case together and present
    your case and you may have to undergo a medical
    examination to determine the severity of your
    condition.
  • An expert opinion to verify that your illness
    has come about as the result of exposure to
    asbestos will also be necessary and along with
    other paperwork will form the basis of your
    claim.
  • It is also possible for a relative of someone
    who has died from the disease to make a
    Mesothelioma compensation claim. Each case is
    looked at on an individual basis and many people
    are pleasantly surprised by the amount of cash
    they receive.
