Our client, a man in his 80s, began experiencing shortness of breath in July 2018 and visited his GP, who sent him for an X-ray. The following month, he had further investigations including a CT scan, following which he was diagnosed with mesothelioma – an asbestos-related cancer of the lining of the lungs.

Kenneth Reynolds was in good health and able to enjoy life following his retirement, but in 2016, he began having problems with his balance and went to see his GP. He was sent for a number of CT scans and was diagnosed as suffering with vascular dementia in December 2017.
Any compensation award is calculated depending on how serious your condition is and the pain and suffering you’ve gone through already and what you’ll go through in the future. This is called General Damages.
You can also be awarded Special Damages. Special Damages reflect the financial impact of your asbestosis. You may not be able to go back to work at all or only work reduced hours, which can affect you and your family.
You may also need home care and assistance, medical treatment which can be expensive. We’ll calculate everything you’ll need and include this in our valuation of your claim.
Your asbestosis compensation payout should put you back in the financial position you’d have been in if you hadn’t been diagnosed with the condition.
If we take on your case after your free claims assessment, we’ll obtain a copy of your medical records, as well as details of your working history
We’ll arrange for you to be assessed by an independent medical expert, who’ll put together a report outlining your condition and possible treatment recommendations. We may also need to get additional expert reports about adaptations to your home or aids you may need to help manage your condition
We’ll send a letter to the other side, and they’ll have up to 3 months to carry out their own investigation
Your Industrial Disease Solicitor will search for evidence to prove your financial losses. These include loss of income, medical expenses, care and services costs and other costs or losses you’ve had because of asbestosis
If the other side admits partial or full responsibility, we can apply for Interim Payments of compensation. This means you could access the care, support and rehabilitation you need, and cover urgent costs such as regular household expenses, without waiting for the case to settle
We’ll do all we can to negotiate a settlement as soon as possible, but if the other side doesn’t accept responsibility for your illness initially, we can bring Court proceedings as we continue attempts to secure an out of Court settlement.

MRS MARY MCFALL
Asbestosis is a serious lung condition caused by breathing in asbestos dust and fibres over an extended time, causing scarring and a thickening of the lung tissue.
This can lead to symptoms including:
Asbestosis can be caused by significant exposure to asbestos over a few years or prolonged exposure to asbestos over a longer period. Because of the nature of asbestosis, it can be many years after the harmful asbestos exposure that you start showing symptoms.
There’s no cure for asbestosis, but our Industrial Disease Solicitors can help you claim compensation so you can access vital treatment to ease your symptoms. This can include oxygen therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation exercises.
In England and Wales, you must make an asbestosis claim within 3 years of your diagnosis. If you’re claiming on behalf of a family member who’s died, you must claim within 3 years of the date they passed away.
Because of strict time limits, you should contact a specialist Industrial Disease Solicitor as soon as possible. This means we can start investigating your claim immediately and should mean that it’s easier to get witness statements from other people.
Asbestosis claims are often funded through a No Win, No Fee agreement, known as a Conditional Fee Agreement. If your claim is not successful then you don’t pay any fees.
