Industrial Diseases

Has anyone in your family worked with asbestos over the years? Many people worldwide have been seriously injured because of that kind of work and have sought compensation. Have you considered whether you might have a claim?

 

Steve Duddell, says “No financial compensation can properly compensate for the damage caused by asbestosis, but those who worked with asbestos may find financial compensation at least can help make their life more comfortable. If employers were aware of the hazards, but did nothing to protect employees, they may be liable.

 

Cases continue to emerge. On 16th March, warship builder VT, formerly known as Vosper Thornycroft, admitted it faces £15m of asbestosis claims. VT said the collapse into administration of its liability insurer Chester Street Insurance three years ago had left it with about 900 unsettled claims from former Southampton ship-fitters.
