Mesothelioma Claims

Once seen as a wonder building material, we now know asbestos is incredibly harmful, and working close to asbestos without the right protection can lead to life-shortening illnesses like mesothelioma.

What is Mesothelioma?

Usually linked to exposure to asbestos fibres, mesothelioma is an aggressive form of cancer that develops in the lining that covers the outer surface of some of the body’s organs. More than 2,600 people are diagnosed with the condition each year in the UK; most cases occur in people aged 60 to 80, and men are affected more commonly than women.

Unfortunately, it’s rarely possible to cure mesothelioma, although treatment can help control the symptoms. If you or one of your family has started to show symptoms, then you may be able to claim mesothelioma compensation.

What is a Mesothelioma Related Illness Claim?

You may be able to claim mesothelioma compensation if you believe your employer failed in their duty of care. For example, if they let you work without the correct safety equipment, or they did not inform you when you were working with asbestos.

What are the different kinds of Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma mainly affects the lining of the lungs. This is known as pleural mesothelioma. However, it can also affect the lining of the stomach (known as peritoneal mesothelioma), heart, or testicles.

Mesothelioma Symptoms

The symptoms of mesothelioma tend to develop gradually over time. They typically don’t appear until several decades after exposure to asbestos.

Symptoms of mesothelioma in the lining of the lungs include:

  • Chest pain
  • Shortness of breath
  • Fatigue
  • Fever
  • Sweating, particularly at night
  • A persistent cough
  • Loss of appetite
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Swollen fingertips

Symptoms of mesothelioma in the lining of the stomach include:

  • Stomach pain
  • Swelling
  • Feeling or being sick
  • Loss of appetite and unexplained weight loss
  • Diarrhoea
  • Constipation

Whether you are claiming for yourself or a loved one (i.e. claiming mesothelioma compensation after death), our mesothelioma solicitors with gather the evidence to prove the illness could have been avoided if the right precautions were taken. Millions of British workers were exposed to asbestos up to the early 1980s, and while many employers were aware of the risks associated with it, they did not educate or protect their staff. This led to tragic consequences for staff and their families.

We appreciate that are clients may be unwilling or unable to pay legal fees. The solicitors that we work with operate on a no win no fee basis which removes the financial risk associated with claiming compensation.

For example, you may be required to pay an additional fee for other costs such as after-the-event (ATE) insurance. Termination fees may apply.
