Although the use of asbestos has been banned for some time, the symptoms of mesothelioma can take 50 years or more to develop after the exposure to asbestos. Unfortunately this means that there are now increasing amounts of cases of mesothelioma being diagnosed, since the use of asbestos was commonplace in the work place back in the 1950s.

Ashton KCJ Solicitors understand that if you or a member of your family is suffering from mesothelioma you will be experiencing a very difficult, upsetting and painful time. Whilst we understand that your main priority will be to seek medical attention to try to ease the pain of the symptoms, it may well be that you will wish to seek legal advice about a claim for compensation.

We can assist you with the claims process. These types of legal claims have a number of unusual and complicated aspects to them, including trying to establish how and when the exposure to asbestos happened, and whether the proposed defendant company had any insurance in place (the company itself may no longer exist).

A successful claim for mesothelioma will result in a significant amount of compensation being paid to you and your family to help pay for your care and nursing whilst you suffer from mesothelioma, and to help to provide for your family into the future.

If you wish to discuss a mesothelioma claim with an expert legal adviser, please contact Richard Foyster, Partner, at Ashton KCJ Solicitors on 0800 5870091.
