Expertise And Understanding From Irwin Mitchell
At Irwin Mitchell we are experts in handling claims related to lung cancer, having represented many clients with their lung cancer claims.
A variety of illnesses affecting the lungs have been directly linked with exposure to asbestos. Whether that exposure has taken place in a workplace or elsewhere, there are numerous parties who may potentially be held liable and as a result, you may be able to make a lung cancer claim.
At Irwin Mitchell we fight fearlessly to achieve the best outcome for your lung cancer claim. We’re renowned for our understanding of the issues affecting you and your family due to a lung illness, and we know what positive action to take to make a difference.
Our lawyers offer the highest level of professionalism and expertise, combined with dedication and sensitivity throughout the process of your compensation claim.
Above all, we put you first.
Handling Lung Cancer Claims With Expertise And Sensitivity
If you have been exposed to asbestos in your workplace and have developed lung cancer, you may be able to make a lung cancer claim against your employer. Your employer has a duty to protect you from exposure to hazardous substances, if they are in breach of this duty by exposing you to harmful substances, Irwin Mitchell may be able to help you receive lung cancer compensation.
Exposure to asbestos can cause lung cancer, but there is no way of precisely determining the cause, particularly if the sufferer has also been a tobacco user. Smokers who have also been exposed to asbestos have a far higher risk of developing lung cancer.
Statistics show a dramatic increase in risk of lung cancer if there is exposure to asbestos. Those who have been exposed to asbestos and as a result have developed lung cancer, may be entitled to make a lung cancer claim.
Irwin Mitchell has acted for thousands who have contracted asbestos-related diseases. Many lung cancer claims have been on behalf of individuals exposed to asbestos in the workplace, as well as in less common situations such as through washing overalls, working in schools or living near factories that manufacture asbestos.
We are committed to campaigning both for victims of asbestos-related disease and for the safe removal of asbestos. Having represented so many victims in their lung cancer claims, we understand the devastating effect that asbestos diseases can have on workers and their families.
