Legal Compensation
If you or a family member have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, you may be entitled to compensation if you were exposed to asbestos in your workplace. Even if your employer went out of business a long time ago, it may still be possible to make a claim. In some circumstances, it may be possible to make a claim if you were exposed to asbestos indirectly, for example from a family member’s work clothes.
Please be aware claims do have time restraints therefore the sooner you seek advice the better. You will need expert legal advice from a specialist solicitor who can provide the right advice and help pursue a claim.
We recommend that you seek FREE advice from a solicitor even if you feel you may not need it now, it can help should you decide at a later stage.
