Asbestosis compensation claims
Asbestosis is a fibrosis (scarring) of the lungs themselves. There are various causes of lung fibrosis, but if you have been exposed to heavy levels of asbestos dust, then it’s possible that asbestos exposure has caused this condition. If you or a loved one has contracted asbestosis and you have been exposed to heavy levels of asbestos dust, then you could be eligible to make a compensation claim. The Hugh James specialist asbestos team is hugely experienced in helping people affected by asbestosis, and we’re passionate about fighting for compensation and benefits for our clients.
How can Hugh James help me with my asbestosis claim ?
Our specialist asbestos team can help asbestosis patients to claim financial support from the government, as well as looking into a legal claim for compensation. Any legal claim would be brought against the entity responsible for exposing you to asbestos dust, which is most commonly a former employer. If your former employer is no longer trading, then claims can be brought against their insurers, instead.
