Asbestosis is an incurable lung condition linked with prolonged exposure to asbestos fibres, which causes chronic shortness of breath. If you have been exposed to asbestos as a result of a former employer or other responsible individual’s negligence, you may be able to make an asbestosis compensation claim.
Call freephone 0800 294 6250 or complete our contact form, and arrange for an initial consultation to discuss making a ‘no win, no fee’ asbestosis claim.
Making an Asbestosis Claim
In order to make a successful asbestosis compensation claim, you will be required to demonstrate that a former employer or supervisor was responsible for exposing you to asbestos dust, and therefore indirectly caused your illness.
Your employer, or the person responsible for your safety at the time of the initial asbestos exposure, has a duty to ensure that you are protected from the harmful effects of asbestos dust. If they breached that duty, it is highly likely you will be able to claim financial compensation, helping you pay for ongoing treatment and compensating you for the pain and suffering caused by the disease.
How Much Compensation could I Claim?
Asbestosis sufferers are typically awarded between £26,500 and £58,000 financial compensation for their illness. In addition to this lump sum, it may also be possible to claim for other financial losses incurred as a result of your illness, such as:

Asbestosis has an extremely long incubation period; sometimes as many as 50 years can pass between the initial asbestos exposure and the manifestation of symptoms. Thus if you have developed asbestosis later in life it may still be possible to claim compensation, even if the person responsible for your asbestos exposure is a former employer or supervisor.
