Exposed but not diagnosed

If you have been exposed to asbestos in the past but have not been diagnosed with any asbestos related condition but are worried then here is a guide on what to do.

Please bear in mind that it usually takes 20+ years for an asbestos related condition to show up during investigations.

  • Contact us immediately in order that we can make some initial enquires as to the status of your former employers etc.
  • Arrange to see your GP.
  • Explain to your GP about your asbestos exposure and your concerns.
  • Your GP should then refer you to your local hospital for a chest x-ray.
  • The radiologist will report back to your GP with his findings.
  • Make a further appointment with your GP to discuss the findings.
  • Contact us and let us know the findings.
  • Should your x-ray reveal an asbestos related condition you may be referred to a consultant at your hospital for further investigations.
  • And we will then assist you in obtaining compensation from your former employer or their insurers and any state benefits you may be entitled to.
