Mesothelioma Compensation

Mesothelioma is a cancer of the chest (pleural mesothelioma) or of the abdomen (peritoneal mesothelioma) that in most cases develops after the inhalation of asbestos fibres and particles. Once any asbestos materials are damaged or disturbed, fibres can become loose and airborne. With the presence of asbestos in many work environments such as construction, joining, carpentry, shipbuilding as well as public buildings such as schools, universities, hospitals and blocks of flats, this can present a real danger to many people’s health. Family members of workers are also at risk of asbestos exposure, contracting mesothelioma because of fibres being brought into the home from work overalls.

According to Cancer Research, ‘more than 2,600 people are diagnosed with mesothelioma in the UK each year’ and the disease can develop over time, taking between ten and fifty years for symptoms to develop. By this time, it is too late. Mesothelioma is a fatal cancer tissue that covers the affected internal organs and restricts their function. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma, you will be entitled to put forward a compensation claim.
