Making A Claim For asbestos compensations. Exactly what Anyone Needs To Know
Anyone who is diagnosed as having asbestosis and has previously worked someplace where they’ve
been subject to asbestos exposure should consider obtaining legal advice to see whether they can
bring a civil law personal injury claim for asbestos compensations from their employer.
As asbestosis claims undoubtedly are a very specialised area, when getting in touch with
compensation lawyers or a asbestosis law firm it is always a good idea to ask:
When making a asbestosis claim does the attorney specialise in asbestos cases and asbestos claims.
Are they fully conversant with asbestos law and specifically asbestosis law and asbestosis
litigation?
How many asbestos compensations cases has the attorney handled?
How many of these asbestosis claims have actually come to court? (Often cases are settled out of
court which may be preferable to you)
How many asbestos claims has the attorney successfully dealt with in the last three years?
Would you be expected to pay the asbestosis lawyers ? Or will they work on a no-win/no-fee basis?
This tends to be the norm and it is highly recommended that you get an attorney that will work on
this basis. Find out how they get paid for acting for you.
In the case of the asbestos compensations are there any further expenses you could be expected to
pay, such as court costs and court fees?
Precisely how will you be kept informed on what’s happening with your claim for asbestos
compensations ?
Just how long will the asbestosis claims process take?
How soon does the attorney expect to start a court action?
For the asbestos compensations claim to be successful you must show that:
It is likely that your asbestos compensations claim is due to exposure to asbestos during the course
of your work. This tends to be difficult to prove, so the legal phrase is that ‘on the balance of
probabilities’ the asbestos exposure caused the condition. This means that it cannot be certain that
the asbestosis was attributable to one or more jobs, it is in all likelihood that it was.
And
Your employer at that time was careless (negligent) in not keeping up the standards required by
common law.
It may be possible to sue your employer for specific offences against health and safety regulations.
If a previous employer has gone out of business it may be possible to make a asbestos
compensations claim against the firm’s insurers.
As you can see there is quite a lot to consider when making a claim for asbestos compensations
BUT if you ask the right questions you should have no problems.
