• If you or a member of your family have recently
  received a diagnosis of Mesothelioma, you will no
  doubt be keen to find out what help is available
  for those in your position. Apart from the
  obvious help you will need in dealing with
  illness and the trauma that surrounds it, you may
  be eligible to make a Mesothelioma claim for
  compensation. Compensation is paid where there is
  proven blame for the disease. However there are
  special rules for making a Mesothelioma
  compensation claim and you should take legal
  advice as soon as possible.
• In the UK a Mesothelioma compensation claim can
  be lodged by anyone affected by the disease which
  mainly develops in people whose work involves
  exposure to asbestos.
• Asbestos is a mineral which was first mined
  during the 1800's and used on a regular basis
  from the time of the Second World War until the
  1970's in the construction of many buildings.
• If you have previously been exposed to asbestos
  containing material and are suffering with
  mesothelioma as a consequence, you are entitled
  to make a claim for compensation.

• In the past many manufacturers and distributors
  of such materials were aware of the dangers of
  exposure and chose not to warn the workers,
  thinking only of their fat profits.
• As a result of this neglect, you may be eligible
  to receive a payment in order to help towards the
  cost of your treatment and to compensate you for
  the pain and suffering you are going through.
• Mesothelioma symptoms can take up to 60 years
  after exposure to appear but many cases develop
  anything from fifteen years after the initial
  association with asbestos.

• Cases of the disease have been on the increase
  over the last 20 years, and although research on
  the subject of early testing is ongoing, the
  disease carries a poor prognosis.
• Symptoms experienced by those suffering with the
  disease are likely to include the following
• A shortness of breath caused by fluid resting
  between the chest wall and the lung
• Pain in the chest wall area
• Weight loss

• We will need to have full details of the facts
  in order to put your case together and present
  your case and you may have to undergo a medical
  examination to determine the severity of your
  condition.
• An expert opinion to verify that your illness
  has come about as the result of exposure to
  asbestos will also be necessary and along with
  other paperwork will form the basis of your
  claim.
• It is also possible for a relative of someone
  who has died from the disease to make a
  Mesothelioma compensation claim. Each case is
  looked at on an individual basis and many people
  are pleasantly surprised by the amount of cash
  they receive.
