Andrew Venn

Senior Asbestos Compensation Solicitor in Newcastle

Andrew is a qualified solicitor based in Thompsons Solicitors' Newcastle office. He deals with asbestos related disease claims and specialises in high-value mesothelioma.

Andrew is one of Thompsons' most experienced solicitors and has been successful in recovering compensation for many mesothelioma victims within their lifetime. As the average life expectancy from diagnosis of mesothelioma is less than a year he has used his determination and skill to ensure that claims are concluded as quickly as possible.

When instructing a solicitor to deal with a claim for mesothelioma compensation it is vital to ensure that the solicitor has experience of dealing with this type of case as they are highly specialised personal injury claims. Andrew has in-depth knowledge of procedures for tracing employers which have long-since gone out of business, tracing their insurers, instructing the leading medical experts and pursuing court proceedings in the specialist mesothelioma fast track in the Royal Courts of Justice.

He has strong negotiating skills and has a reputation for recovering substantial sums of compensation for his clients.

Successful Asbestos Compensation Claims

Below is an example of an asbestos related disease compensation claim Andrew has dealt with in the Newcastle office.

Exposed to asbestos working at North East shipyards

In this case, Andrew's client Charles Cochran was exposed to asbestos whilst working as a plumber and pipe-fitter at a Tyneside shipyard.

At the time he and his colleagues had no idea how dangerous asbestos was and he could recall playing football with it during their lunch breaks. They were never given any protection or warnings of danger from their employers.

Mr Cochran developed mesothelioma as a result of his exposure to asbestos and approached Thompsons Solicitors for help. Andrew Venn met with Mr Cochran immediately by visiting him at home and within four months had recovered £150,000 compensation for him. Mr Cochran was very relieved to know that his wife would be financially secure after his death.
