Mesothelioma is a form of asbestos-related lung cancer. It can be caused by being exposed to asbestos, asbestos dust, and fibres making their way to the membrane surrounding the lungs, damaging cells and causing those cells to become cancerous.
There is currently no cure but you can claim compensation.
Making a mesothelioma compensation claim can help you access the best medical care, ensure that your family’s future is safeguarded and make sure that negligent companies face the consequences of their actions.

Exploring Your Case Mesothelioma Compensation Case
Our immediate focus is on investigating your case. We aim to uncover where you may have suffered asbestos exposure, even if the asbestos exposure occurred many decades ago. Our specialised team excels in pinpointing exposure locations, no matter how long ago it happened.
Calculating Compensation
Drawing on the gathered evidence, we determine the extent of your exposure and calculate the compensation you deserve. This information is crucial as it helps us identify the responsible party, whether it be a company or their insurer.
Engaging with the Responsible Party
Upon identifying the liable party, we initiate contact with the company and/or their insurer. If they acknowledge responsibility for your exposure and subsequent illness, we work towards securing early interim payments. These payments offer financial support and can cover necessary medical expenses during the ongoing claims process.

Asbestos Related Lung Cancer
Asbestos has been linked to many different health conditions. While it was once thought of as a miracle material for insulation and fire-proofing, the dangers of being exposed to asbestos became known in the 1960s and 1970s.
However, many companies did not take the appropriate steps to reduce risk. These included:
- Ensuring workplaces were well ventilated.
- Providing PPE.
- Ensuring that workplaces were clean at the end of the day.
Companies were instructed to follow these simple rules, but many simply ignored them. This negligence has been the cause of thousands of victims suffering asbestos-related illnesses.
