There have been many uses of asbestos over the years in many different products and industries. You may have been exposed to asbestos without realising it at the time.

Liability

If you are suffering Mesothelioma, Pleural Thickening, Asbestosis, Pleural Effusion or Lung Cancer due to asbestos exposure you may be entitled to compensation. We hold details of insurers for many companies who exposed their employees to asbestos. Even if the company no longer exists it is usually still possible to pursue a claim if their insurers are known. Many people who have been exposed to asbestos never develop an asbestos related disease. We will help you to prove that someone negligently exposed you to asbestos without taking reasonable precautions.

Family & Deceased Claimants

Family members or other relatives of those who have been exposed to asbestos may be able to make Asbestos Claims if they develop an asbestos related illness due to exposure to asbestos fibres which they brought home on work clothes. You can still pursue a Claim even if the person has died. For example if you are the person’s husband, wife, dependent or personal representative and there is evidence that they suffered an asbestos related illness. You must ensure that following the person’s death the local coroner is informed and post-mortem examination is arranged.

Claiming Compensation

If a claim for an asbestos claim is successful you will recover compensation for pain and suffering as well as compensation for financial losses caused by the asbestos related illness. For example

  • The cost of medical treatment or medication
  • Loss of earnings
  • Travel expenses to and from a GP or Hospital for treatment
  • Care and assistance someone has had to provide because of the illness
  • Loss of Pension
Time Limits & Pleural Plaques

You usually only have 3 years to start court proceedings from the date you become aware you are suffering from an asbestos related illness. In some cases the courts may allow a claim to go ahead outside of the 3-year time limit if you have a good reason for not pursuing the claim earlier. If the sufferer has died then Court Proceedings usually must be issued within 3 years of the date of death. If you think that you may be suffering from an asbestos related condition or disease you should seek legal advice immediately. As a result of a House of Lords Decision in 2007 it is not possible to pursue a civil law claim for compensation for pleural plaques alone.

Just wanted to say a huge “thank you” Jacqui for everything you’ve done. I was so reluctant at the the beginning, to undertake a claim, fearing a daunting process but your assistance, advice ( & patience!) ensured it wasn’t so and I’ll always be grateful for that.

With very best wishes and sincere thanks,

“..very good contact from day one until case closed. Everything explained along the way, very helpful in all departments…cannot fault the level of service I have had during my time with Thompson & Co.”

Mrs M

“Helen at all times was very understanding and explained very clearly what was going to happen in our case. Very easy to talk to and very patient. I would have no problem in recommending Helen to someone else.  The level of service was excellent. We would like to pass on our thanks to Helen for her support and professionalism.”

I was at ease after our first meeting… We would like to thank Mark and all the team at Thompson & Co for everything they have done for us. The professionalism, dedication to detail was second to none. I would recommend Thompson & Co to anyone. They do a great job. Thanks again Mark for all the help you have given me.

Mr & Mrs P, Durham

“We would like to thank you for everything you have done for us. For your kindness and consideration whilst dealing with the claim. We will never forget your dedication and hard work on our behalf”

I would like to say a massive thank you for everything you have done for me regarding my claim… I have now received an apology from the hospital and have been reassured that lessons have been learned……I have been one hundred percent happy with the service and professionalism I have received from you. … I felt like I was chatting to a friend..Once again, thank you so much

Mrs N

The whole service I received throughout the process was very professional, informative and very clear every step of the way. The firm was recommended to me by a family member…The service throughout was exceptional.

Mr R

I found you willing to be patient with me at a very traumatic time in my life. You showed great empathy towards me and helped me resolve my claim for which I will be forever grateful.

Mr C

Ease of Process, good communication, helpful and professional service

I can never thank you enough for supporting me and my family in finding out what actually took place and holding out most importantly…..  for the truth and a apology….

Speaking on behalf of my family I can only say ” we are indebted to you for all your help”  and that we welcome any opportunity to promote not only your professionalism,  but the genuine kindness you afforded to us.
