Our Commitment to mesothelioma clients
You will be seen by one of our specialist solicitors immediately who will deal with your claim under the supervision of a partner from start to finish. As time is of the essence in your case you will receive priority treatment from us and your case will be worked on almost daily. We understand the trauma at being diagnosed with mesothelioma and will work taking the pressure off you in any way we can. Whilst primarily we look at obtaining compensation for you from your former employer through the court’s fast track system we are committed to providing you with assistance in writing a will, obtaining various government benefits, re-housing and in any other area we possibly can. Whilst our initial meeting with you will involve completing some paperwork we will involve you in the case as little or as much as you want to.
Mesothelioma – Claims Process
In most instances you may have already been diagnosed or awaiting a diagnosis of mesothelioma by your consultant. It is important that you contact us immediately in order to commence investigations even if you think you do not have a claim.
The Danger of Power Stations
It was reported in Hazards Magazine/Oct/Dec09 that a former power station worker for the CEGB at Skelton Grange suffered a massive blow when not only was he diagnosed with asbestosis but his wife contracted mesothelioma seemingly from cleaning her husbands work clothes.
Directors Held Accountable
The bosses of Stalybridge engineering firm Vernon & Roberts have been ordered to hand over £60,000 to the widow of Frederick Hughes who sadly died of mesothelioma after being exposed to working with asbestos at the firm.
Companies Prosecuted over Asbestos Exposure
Noble Gift Packaging and A&T Roofing where fined a total of nearly a £120,000 after A&T Roofing removed a roof lined with 3,000 square meters of asbestos insulating board. Workers from the company where not provided with effective protection even after the company knew the material contained amosite. The actions of the company where called “Unpardonable” by the HSE.
