Claiming Personal Injury Compensation for an Asbestos Related Disease on behalf of a Deceased Relative

Types of Asbestos Related Diseases

There are many different types of asbestos related diseases and they each vary in severity. The conditions include Pleural Plaques, Pleural Thickening, Mesothelioma, Lung Cancer and Asbestosis.   Asbestosis is often misused as a term for any asbestos related disease.

If you have developed any asbestos related condition and if it can be proven that you were exposed to the asbestos due to someone else's fault (known in law as negligence) then you would succeed in a personal injury claim for compensation.

Making a Compensation Claim on behalf of the Deceased

Unfortunately, asbestos can cause terminal conditions and as they can develop quickly there will always be cases where the person suffering from the asbestos related disease will not live long enough to ever complete a claim for personal injury compensation.

If a person suffering from an asbestos related disease manages to begin a personal injury compensation claim with Thompsons Solicitors, we will do our very best to ensure that the claim is settled within the person’s lifetime. In some cases, this may prove to be impossible due to the speed at which some of these conditions progress. In instances where the claimant dies before their personal injury compensation claim is settled, their family can continue with the claim on their behalf.

If a person dies from an asbestos related disease before they even have time to begin a personal injury compensation claim or if the cause of death was not linked to asbestos until the post mortem was carried out, it may still be possible for the family of the deceased to make a personal injury compensation claim on behalf of their relative.
