No-Win-No-Fee mesothelioma claims

GMS Asbestos Disease solicitors/ lawyers offer No-Win-No-Fee agreements for mesothelioma claims from day one.

A diagnosis of mesothelioma leading to a mesothelioma claim is probably one of the most shocking diagnoses that a person or a family can ever receive. It is similar to a diagnosis of a fast growing cancer.

Asbestos disease -mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is the most serious asbestos disease resulting almost certainly from asbestos exposure in a work place environment, usually many years ago. The asbestos disease mesothelioma can incubate (called a latency period) for between 10 and 50 years.

A mesothelioma claim can result from the exposure to a single fibre of asbestos dust (although it is more usual for there to have been extensive exposure over several years,) usually in the construction or ship building industry as a lagger, de-lagger or asbestos sprayer.

The asbestos disease mesothelioma can however result from very low levels of exposure and one of our clients was an insurance officer worker, who encountered asbestos only in visiting the insurance company’s head office on monthly visits for informal consultations with colleagues, but tragically at a time when construction work had disturbed the asbestos in the fabric of the building. He contracted mesothelioma from this exposure something like approximately 30 years previously.

In order to successfully bring a No-Win-No-Fee mesothelioma claim it is important to identify how the exposure occurred. One of our jobs is to help you to recall where you may have encountered asbestos and to put it in the context of your work place environment.

Mesothelioma- the disease

The asbestos disease mesothelioma is a growth around the lungs causing breathing to be very difficult.

The illness is anticipated to last for about 3 years and the result is invariably fatal.

Mesothelioma compensation/ damages

Mesothelioma compensation/damages starts at around £47,000.00 and increases to around £75,000.00 or so depending upon the age of the injured party, and the level of disability and also the length of the illness.

This level of compensation for mesothelioma compensation/damages is for the pain, suffering and loss of enjoyment and to this is added compensation for the financial losses, which includes things like loss of earnings, travel and prescription costs and nursing even if you did actually pay for them.
