Company Failed to Check for Dangerous Asbestos Fibres
A Cornwall development company, Norwegian Homes Limited, has been fined £4,500 for failing to undertake a survey for the presence of dangerous asbestos fibres when demolishing a Hotel.
First Signs of Asbestos Exposure.
Pursuance of a mesothelioma claim is attendant upon medical diagnosis when seeking asbestos advice. Given the long latency periods – of up to 40 years or more – the earlier a thorough examination can take place in the first stage of the process, the better the likelihood of a more positive outcome.
As the numbers of asbestosis sufferers increase, inevitably, the numbers who make an asbestosis claim rises too. However, short life expectancy and time-consuming case investigations mean that, all too often, relatively few mesothelioma claimants live to see justice prevail.
Asbestosis Increase Leads To More Claims.
Assertions that the present dangers of contracting an asbestos related disease are considerably reduced as a result of the banning of its use in products or heightened asbestos awareness, are shown to be false every time Government statistics and anecdotal evidence are released. Consistently rising asbestos compensation figures show very clearly that more people are contracting asbestos-related cancers such as asbestosis and mesothelioma.
