Personal Injury Compensation Claims for Asbestos induced Lung Cancer

About Lung Cancer

It is well established that Lung Cancer is commonly associated with smoking tobacco; however, proving that it is caused by inhaling asbestos dust is often very difficult.

Claiming Personal Injury Compensation for Lung Cancer

It is normally accepted by the medical and legal profession that if Lung Cancer develops in the presence of asbestosis (interstitial pulmonary fibrosis) then the Lung Cancer was caused by asbestos. This is true even if the person with Lung Cancer was a smoker. Where asbestosis is not present it is only possible to prove that Lung Cancer was caused by asbestos in very limited circumstances which requires proof of prolonged and/or heavy occupational asbestos exposure.
