Industrial Disease Compensation

Asbestos Related Disease

At least 2000 people are diagnosed with Asbestos related diseases each year, but the numbers are expected to rise until 2020 because of the time lag between exposure and the onset of the disease.

If you are suffering from an asbestos related disease you could be entitled to compensation and any losses incurred as a result of the illness.

Until recently asbestos was used in a large number of industries and many people who develop related diseases have come into contact with it through work.

Exposure can cause a number of diseases:

• Mesothelioma
• Lung cancer
• Asbestosis
• Pleural thickening
• Pleural plaques

Because of the time delay between exposure and the onset of symptoms it can sometimes be difficult to pinpoint the source of the exposure. Graysons solicitors are experts in this field and we can help with claims even if you don’t know who is responsible for your exposure. We can pursue compensation claims against multiple employers if you were exposed in more than one job, we can even pursue claims where the employer no longer exists.

Relatives can also claim on behalf of someone who has died from an asbestos related condition. It may be possible to claim for loss of financial dependency as well as for the pain and suffering which the deceased endured.

We act for individuals who have worked in all types of industries and we also act on behalf of the NUM (Derbyshire area). Our specialist team has an excellent track record in securing compensation for asbestos related illnesses and would be happy to give you a free initial consultation.
