Dave Fisher

Senior Asbestos Lawyer in Birmingham

Dave Fisher is a senior asbestos lawyer based in Thompsons Solicitors' Birmingham office. He has many years experience of dealing with all types of personal injury compensation claims but in recent years has used his expertise to deal with industrial disease claims and in particular claims for victims of asbestos related diseases.

Dave not only has a great amount of skill and knowledge of dealing with cases of this nature but also has an understanding of how difficult they can be for the victim and their family.  He always tries to recover the compensation his clients are entitled to in the shortest possible time.  This is particularly important in cases involving terminal illnesses such as mesothelioma as it gives the victim some peace of mind that their family will be financially secure after their death.

Dave has been successful with many complicated asbestos compensation claims over the years where the employer who exposed the client to asbestos no longer exists or the insurance company is difficult to trace.

Successful Asbestos Claims

Below you will find just a few examples of successful personal injury claims which Dave Fisher has dealt with in the Birmingham office.

Mesothelioma Claim for Railway Worker

In this case, our client had spent his entire working life as a railway worker for British Rail.  He had been negligently exposed to asbestos by his employers many times over a number of years without any warning or protection such as a facemask.

After experiencing chest problems, medical tests were carried out and the client was diagnosed with mesothelioma.  He was given less than a year to live.

Dave worked hard and managed to recover compensation in this case just 6 months after the client originally contacted Thompsons.

Exposed to asbestos by two employers

Our client in this case had been negligently exposed to asbestos by two different employers in his early working life.  He was never told of the dangers of working with asbestos and was never given any protection from the dangerous fibres.

Sadly, this client was only in his 50's when he was told that he had developed mesothelioma through his contact with asbestos.  Doctors tried to extend his life with surgery and chemotherapy but he died only 14 months after being diagnosed.

Dave was successful in recovering £300,000 damages for this client.

Mesothelioma claim which went to Court

In this case our client had worked for the NHS all his life and had been negligently exposed to asbestos on a daily basis by his employers.

He was only in his early 60's when his health deteriorated rapidly and he was diagnosed with mesothelioma.  His doctors tried to extend his life with surgery and chemotherapy but he sadly died just a year after being diagnosed.

Dave had to take this case all the way to Court before the NHS Trust involved would pay the client's family the compensation they deserved. They were awarded £155,000 in damages.
