This review is for a different branch.
Shortly after my 90 year old fathers diagnosis of mesothelioma my mum and family were advised that there might be a route for us for compensation if we could show that he was likely to have been exposed to Asbestos at work. The London Asbestos Support Awareness Group provided a list of recommended specialist law firms. Having made some calls and a bit of reading I called Thompson solicitors and spoke with one of their lawyers Jackie Wood. Immediately she explained what the process would entail and answered a number of concerns some of my family had. Jackie travelled to visit my mum following dad’s passing to discuss the case and reassured her about the process. My Dad’s case was not straight forward and he became too ill too quickly for him to make a statement but he had explained to my mum and I where he believed he had contracted the disease. Jackie took the information and with some experienced investigation work identified the insurance company responsible for that part of the business back in 1962 and they quickly accepted liability. It has taken almost 3 years as Jackie had said it might but we got there in the end and now mum has had a significant compensation which will greatly assist her and the family going forward. At all times Jackie was responsive, professional, calm and just really nice to work with and without to much fuss delivered a fantastic service for my mum and family and a little justice for Mum and Dad. I could not speak more highly of her and Mum and I will be forever grateful for her help.
