Asbestos Exposure From Husband’s Working Clothes

Personal Injury Compensation Claims

It is now accepted that asbestos-related conditions, including mesothelioma, can be contracted as a result of exposure to dirty work clothes contaminated with asbestos.

For example, if your husband or partner was exposed to asbestos fibres or asbestos dust at work and had to bring his overalls home to be washed by you, and you later suffer from an asbestos-related disease, you may have a claim for asbestos-related disease compensation.

When Should You Make A Claim For Asbestos Compensation?

Asbestos conditions nearly always take more than 10 years to develop after the exposure has occurred, so it is more likely that you will be able to bring a claim if you had to clean contaminated overalls 10 or more years ago.

Asbestos-related injuries have been known about for many decades, but it was only in 1965 that it became widely known that even small or mild (in relative terms) levels of exposure to asbestos could cause injury. Cleaning dirty overalls falls into the category of mild exposure. So, in order to succeed in a personal injury compensation claim, it is likely that you would have to show that the exposure to asbestos from cleaning dirty, contaminated overalls occurred or continued after 1965.
