Have you been diagnosed with a condition related to asbestos? If so, you could be eligible to make a claim for compensation.
Asbestos is a fibre combustible material that was once widely used in the building industry to make fireproof materials. As a matter of fact, this didn’t cease to be the case until the 1980s, and today, all use of asbestos is banned by the European Union, which has also outlawed the manufacture, extraction and processing of asbestos products.
Asbestos can be found in such common places as some floor and ceiling tiles, lagging around boilers and pipes and heat resistant materials such as roofing felts and fire blankets. Asbestos is the single biggest cause of work related deaths in the UK, with workers who were involved in the asbestos production industry being particularly at risk. There are also various occupations that aren’t directly involved in the production of asbestos that are thought to be particularly at risk, including carpenters, various factory workers or production fitters.
The serious diseases that can be caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibres include malignant lung cancer and the formerly rare cancer, mesothelioma.
In addition to causing 4,000 deaths in the UK a year, asbestos has led to thousands more people living with a decreased lung capacity.
Making a claim for asbestos compensation
If you would like to make a claim for asbestos compensation, there are several steps that you will need to make, but the first of all will be finding a company that can help you to make such a claim, one with a capable legal team that can gather evidence to ensure that the strongest possible case is made for compensation that could benefit you and your family.
You can find an asbestos compensation specialist by performing a Google search for ‘asbestos compensation’. But bear in mind that you should only choose a company that will give you 100% of the compensation and that that will treat you with respect, dealing with your case quickly, courteously and professionally. Nor should you be put under any undue pressure to make an asbestos compensation claim.
