There was widespread use of asbestos in various industries up until the 1980s despite available knowledge that exposure to asbestos was injurious to health.
Exposure to asbestos can cause the following types of disease:
- Mesothelioma
- Lung cancer
- Asbestosis
- Pleural plaques
- Diffuse pleural thickening
Workers who were regularly exposed to asbestos during the course of their employment included Laggers, Shipyard workers, Building workers, Plumbers, Electricians, Gas fitters and Asbestos manufacturing workers.
In addition, family members were often exposed to dust brought home on the clothing of relatives who had been working with asbestos.

No Win, No Fee Asbestos Claims Explained
We handle many personal injury claims on a No Win No Fee basis, also known as a Conditional Fee Agreement (CFA).
This means you pay nothing if your claim is unsuccessful. If your claim succeeds, your opponent will usually cover most of your legal costs, and a success fee will be deducted from your compensation.
We share the risk with you, meaning you only pay if your claim is successful. We will explain all funding options, your chances of success and how to maximise your compensation before you decide whether to proceed.
To discuss your options, arrange a free and confidential consultation with our solicitors by calling 0191 5666500. There is no obligation to make a claim, and our initial advice is free.
