Asbestos related illness...

Asbestos was used up to the 1960s and 1970s in mining, construction, shipbuilding and various other industries. Asbestos was also used for insulation, brake linings, and cement and fireproofing.

Even if you did not work in an industry handling raw asbestos, you may have been exposed to asbestos indirectly, for example, as a heating engineer disturbing lagging etc.

It is also possible that you may have come into contact with asbestos from clothing that a family member may have worn whilst working with asbestos.

There are various illnesses that can be caused by exposure to asbestos which differ in severity. These illnesses include Pleural Plaques, Pleural Thickening, Asbestosis, Lung Cancer and Mesothelioma.

If you have been diagnosed with an asbestos related illness it is important that you make a claim as soon as possible. Even if the Company you worked for are no longer in business or you cannot remember being exposed to asbestos you should still contact us to discuss making a claim as we may be able to help you. You have 3 years from the date you became aware that your symptoms were due to exposure to asbestos to make a claim, so do not delay.
