Asbestosis is an occupational lung disease caused by inhaling asbestos fibres, typically developing after long-term exposure at work. This work area covers people who have become ill from exposure to asbestos or who are seeking compensation after a family member’s death from asbestos-related disease. A solicitor in this field investigates workplace exposure, gathers medical evidence, and pursues compensation against employers, manufacturers or other responsible parties through the civil courts or negotiated settlements, with insurers and medical experts involved throughout the process.
Where a solicitor protects your position
The work hinges on proving exposure, causation and fault, with deadlines for presenting a claim and the possibility of interim payments. The solicitor coordinates medical assessments, liability investigations, and the potential for interim damages or full compensation, aiming to secure a result that recognises the seriousness of the illness and its impact on the claimant or dependants.
