Feedback

I was referred by my union and from the very first day I was given information about the support that I will be receiving. I was kept informed at every stage and the solicitor was prompt to return my calls and emails. It was a really challenging period for me but was given update at every stage.

Asbestos Claim

Stuart Latham from Newcastle Asbestos Team handled our claim in a caring and thoroughly professional manner. From first taking on our case Stuart showed great empathy and understanding of our situation, having recently lost our we were in very low spirits, Stuart understood our feelings and progressed the claim with a minimum amount of involvement from ourselves. His experience and knowledge of the case subject was flawless and I would have no hesitation in recommending Stuart Latham and Thompsons Solicitors.

Mesothelioma Claim

February 2023 I had a biopsy, which confirmed a previous suspected diagnosis of malignant epithelioid mesothelioma. With a terminal diagnosis, at the age of 80 years old, the last thing on my mind was to claim for compensation for my exposure to asbestos. I was being treated at the Northen Cancer Centre in Newcastle upon Tyne. Almost everyone I encountered, pressed me to follow up a compensation claim. This resulted in me contacting my trade union; I had continued to remain a member in the retired group.
Prospect put me in touch with Thompsons Solicitors, and my enquiry was passed to the Newcastle Office. Gill Connelly, Senior Lawyer, was allocated to my case.
Gill wasted no time and was soon in my lounge recording my full employment history. This was no short visit, well exceeding an hour, and thorough beyond belief. Of course nothing is certain, but I am of the opinion that my critical exposure occurred when I was an apprentice around 20 years old. Gill’s ability to type as fast as I could speak, can only be described as phenomenal. No time at all was wasted taking notes, with the need for proof checking, oh no ! Whatever I said, was accurately down in print straight away.
Take care what you say!!
I am convinced that the thoroughness of the evidence collection was largely the reason why the defendant accepted liability promptly and awarded a generous interim payment. It is a fact, that my career was totally working in power stations, owned / managed by one organisation, albeit not specifically as a lagger.
From that point Gill’s, expertise was directed towards maximising my claim, with a clear determination to get the maximum payout for me. It’s somewhat of a sad fact that there is no shortage of people pursuing asbestos related claims, such that Gill’s entire time, is spent on mesothelioma claims. From the clients’ point of view, like myself, this means, she has built up an expertise second to none. I am convinced that this expertise has gone a long way, to bring my claim to a very acceptable conclusion, in the shortest possible time. At every stage, whenever a decision was required of myself, Gill explained the advantages and risks associated with each choice. I believe this gave me confidence that on each and every occasion, the best choice was made in my interests.
The above facts make it clear, that I am delighted with the assistance I have received from Thompsons' Solicitors and Gill Connelly in particular. Obviously, I can recommend the firm without any reservation whatever,

Asbestos Claim

Having lost a close family member to Mesothelioma in 2021, and the trauma this caused my family at the time and continues to do so, it was suggested, by our own family solicitor, that we could receive some legal advice from experts in Mesothelioma and Asbestos, and they recommended we approached Thompsons Solicitors LLP as they are considered experts in this field.

The process started a couple of years ago and has recently concluded. Although it has been a lengthy process, we understand why it took this length of time to gather the facts, find evidence, interview witnesses, prepare witness statements and meet with the solicitor many times over this period - it was important to do the background work firstly to strengthen the claim. The claim was dealt with by Stuart Latham of the Newcastle Asbestos Team, and he could not have been more helpful. Stuart was very professional throughout the process and very caring - that was very important as this is such a sensitive, emotive topic for us. Stuart explained everything carefully to my elderly mother in a way that she understood, in a non-condescending approach which worked well for us. If there were any questions, no matter how trivial, Stuart patiently went through things, so everything was clearly laid out for us.

We have recently been informed that the defendants have conceded that they are liable for our loss, and the amount of claim has been settled with little or no fuss for us. Stuart has done a great job! He liaised between us and the defendants and kept us up to date throughout the process.

As an aside, I really liked that we could meet remotely via Microsoft Teams around my work schedule, that made such a difference to be able to engage with Stuart from a distance without the pressure of travelling a long distance to meet up with him – I really liked this modern approach.

In summary, I would thoroughly recommend anyone wanting to go down the path of claiming for a loved one who had the misfortune to be diagnosed with, or has died from Mesothelioma, or any other Asbestoses related illness, to approach Thompsons Solicitors LLP for an initial discussion at least, just so you can get your bearings and decide with people who know what they are talking about, if you want to pursue a claim or not.

Police Interview/Investigation

As soon as Thompsons Solicitors came on board to represent me (which was a very speedy service) i received an excellent and professional service. I was immediately reassured from everyone who made contact with me from Thompsons - guiding and preparing me in terms of my rights when handling the Police and during the Interview. A special thank you to my solicitor James Williams and my support assistance Kelly Campen both of whom went beyond their roles to check I was OK during a very stressful period. The outcome was a positive one.
