Asbestos-Related Injury Claims
When can you make an asbestos-related injury claim?
A personal injury claim for an asbestos-related injury can be started at any time within three years of a sufferer being informed of their condition by an appropriately qualified doctor, or within three years of death. Because this time limit starts at the diagnosis of the victim's condition, rather than at the time at which the asbestos exposure occurred, it is possible to make claims relating to incidents or periods of employment dating back decades.
Our lawyers can even succeed in gaining compensation in some cases where it seems that the three year time limit referred to above has been missed so please seek advice even if you are not sure if this three year time limit will apply to your personal injury claim.
Claims for compensation for an asbestos related disease can be made by either someone suffering from the disease, or by the family of someone who has died from an asbestos related disease.
What will our lawyers do?
Clear Answers' lawyers specialising in asbestos-related injury claims will investigate your claim for you, and use their experience to pursue your claim in the most effective way possible.
If you have been exposed to asbestos at your place of work, it's likely that the employer bears some responsibility.
Our specialist asbestosis lawyers will explore whether the company, or a responsible successor company can be found and whether there is any insurance available. This is a skilled and painstaking task, especially when many people exposed to asbestos have been employed in industries such as construction, where employment turnover is great.
Once our lawyers have established that the employer or a successor is available to claim against, they will obtain a detailed medical report for you from a medico-legal expert in this field. The purpose of this is to confirm the diagnosis of an asbestos-related injury and to prove the injury was caused by exposure during employment with that company. Once this is done, the claim can proceed.
