What Is An Asbestos Claim?
Asbestos was used in insulation, roofing, flooring and many other building materials until its dangers became well known and it was banned. Unfortunately, many people were exposed without proper protection. Inhaling asbestos fibres can cause life-threatening conditions that may not appear until decades later.
Those often affected are:
- Construction and demolition workers
- Shipyard and dock employees
- Factory and power station staff
- Electricians, plumbers and engineers
- Anyone involved in insulation or maintenance of older buildings
Employers and organisations have a duty of care to protect workers from harm. When this duty is breached, it may be possible to bring a claim for damages.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, you may be entitled to make a claim for compensation. An asbestos claim can help cover the cost of medical treatment, loss of earnings, care and support needs and provide financial security for your family. Our experienced personal injury solicitors can help you understand your rights and guide you through the process of making a claim.

The financial and personal impact of asbestos related illness can be significant. A successful claim may cover:
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation costs
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain, suffering and reduced quality of life
- Travel expenses for hospital visits
- Support for dependents and family members
