Mesothelioma Compensation
Cambridge Solicitors | Filed: Medical Aid in Cambridge
The first cases against asbestos manufacturers were in 1929. Since then, many lawsuits have been filed
against asbestos manufacturers and employers, for neglecting to implement safety measures after the links
between asbestos, asbestosis, and mesothelioma became known (some reports seem to place this as early as
1898).
Asbestos particles can be found in lumberyards, shipyards or any of the heating or automotive industries."
The liability resulting from the sheer number of lawsuits and people affected has reached billions of
dollars. The amounts and method of allocating compensation have been the source of many court cases and
government attempts at resolution of existing and future cases.
If your mesothelioma might be a result of exposure to asbestos whilst you were at work, then you may be able
to pursue a claim. There ways of doing this are through benefits being paid by the government or by suing or
the employer on whose premises the exposure to asbestos occured.
Specialist advice can be sought from a Medical solicitor, Citizens Advice Bureau or an asbestos disease
suuport group.
