Asbestosis

What is Asbestosis?

I will take this opportunity to thank your firm for the very efficient manner you applied to my compensation case.  I found your services to be excellent throughout, keeping in touch (up to date) information either by phone or letter

Asbestosis normally occurs as a result of heavy asbestos exposure over a prolonged period. The disease is a form of fibrosis of the lung. This affects the efficiency of the lungs and the person affected often has symptoms of breathlessness and coughing. This disability generally increases as the person gets older

 

Compensation for Asbestosis

Asbestosis claims can be dealt with on a provisional damages basis or on a full and final basis. A provisional award allows the Claimant to come back to Court for additional compensation, should the degree of disability increase significantly. However, it is more common to have these cases dealt with on a full and final basis. Awards for the personal injury aspect of the disease itself vary between £28,000 and £61,500

We can provide these investment services if they are an incidental part of the professional services we have been engaged to provide. Although the Law Society is a designated professional body for the purposes of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, responsibility for regulation and complaints handing has been separated from the Law Society's representative functions. The Solicitors Regulation Authority is the independent regulatory body of the Law Society and the Legal Complaints Service is the independent complaints handling body of the Law Society.
