Death Following Asbestos Disease


Taking legal action after death from asbestos

If a member of your family dies as the result of an asbestos related disease, you may be able to take legal action. Medical experts estimate that approximately 95% of all mesothelioma deaths are caused by asbestos exposure (usually in the work place). If the solicitor can obtain evidence to prove that a past employer negligently exposed the deceased to asbestos you may be able to claim compensation. You may still be able to claim compensation even if the employer has ceased to exist.

Do not assume that no legal action can be taken now.

You should seek specialist legal advice on this issue as government benefits may also be available.

We will be pleased to give you free advice about possible damages arising from an asbestos related disease compensation claim.
