About Asbestos Claims

Claims can also be made by families who have lost loved ones to asbestos-related diseases.

Eligibility Criteria for Asbestos Claims
Anyone exposed to asbestos who subsequently developed a related illness can typically make a claim. Here’s a breakdown of who is eligible:
Individuals Diagnosed with Asbestos-Related Diseases
If you have been diagnosed with any of the following illnesses, you can make a claim:- Mesothelioma – A rare and aggressive cancer directly linked to asbestos exposure.
- Asbestosis – Scarring of the lung tissue caused by prolonged asbestos exposure.
- Lung Cancer – In some cases, asbestos exposure can lead to lung cancer, even in non-smokers.
- Pleural Thickening – Thickening of the lining of the lungs that can cause breathing difficulties.
- Pleural Plaques (in Scotland) – Non-cancerous scarring of the lung lining caused by asbestos exposure.
Families of Deceased Loved Ones
If you have lost a loved one to an asbestos-related illness, you may be able to file a claim on their behalf. This includes:- Widows or widowers.
- Long-term partners who lived with the deceased for at least two years.
- Children or other dependents who relied on the deceased for financial support.
Secondary Exposure Cases
Even if you were not directly exposed to asbestos at work, you may still qualify for a claim if you were exposed indirectly, such as through the work clothes of a family member.Past Claimants with Worsened Conditions
If you previously made a claim for a less severe asbestos-related illness (e.g., pleural thickening) and your condition has progressed to something more serious (e.g., mesothelioma), you may be eligible to make an additional claim.
What If You Don’t Know Where or When You Were Exposed?
It’s common for asbestos-related illnesses to develop decades after exposure, making it difficult to pinpoint when and where it occurred. Even if the company responsible has ceased trading or changed names, we have the expertise to investigate and pursue compensation.
Acting Within the Legal Timeframe
In most cases, you have three years to make a claim from:
- The date of diagnosis for an asbestos-related illness.
- The date you became aware that a loved one’s death was caused by asbestos exposure.
