Asbestos-Related Disease Claims
Mesothelioma Claims
Mesothelioma is a terminal cancer almost exclusively caused by asbestos exposure. Claims require rapid action due to limited life expectancy. Compensation includes general damages for pain and suffering, care costs, loss of earnings, and dependency claims for families. Awards typically range from £200,000 to over £400,000.
Tracing Historical Employers and Insurers
Many companies that exposed workers to asbestos have closed down, but their insurance obligations often remain. We have extensive databases and experience tracing former employers and their insurers. The Employers' Liability Tracing Office helps locate historical insurance, and government schemes provide compensation when insurers cannot be found.
Industrial Hearing Loss and Workplace Injury Prevention
Proving Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
Successful hearing loss claims require demonstrating exposure to excessive workplace noise and proving this caused your hearing damage. We work with audiological experts who can distinguish between occupational hearing loss and age-related deterioration. Detailed employment histories and witness evidence about workplace noise levels are crucial.
Compensation for Hearing Loss Claims
Hearing loss compensation depends on the degree of impairment and its impact on daily life and employment. Awards range from a few thousand pounds for mild hearing loss to £80,000+ for severe cases. Additional compensation covers hearing aids, ongoing treatment, and loss of earnings where hearing loss affects employment prospects.

Additional Information
Our Process
Occupational disease claims begin with detailed consultation about your work history and health conditions. We obtain medical records, instruct specialist experts, and trace former employers and insurers. The process involves gathering historical evidence, expert medical opinions, and often complex negotiations with multiple defendants.
Timeline
Occupational disease claims typically take 12-24 months to resolve, though complex cases involving multiple employers or medical issues may take longer. Mesothelioma cases are expedited due to limited life expectancy, often resolving within 6-12 months.
Costs & Fees
We offer no win, no fee arrangements for occupational disease claims, with insurance covering opponent costs if unsuccessful. These claims often involve substantial expert costs for medical and occupational hygiene evidence, making proper funding arrangements essential.
