Claims for compensation for asbestos related disease
Asbestos is a naturally occurring group of strong fibrous minerals that are highly resistant to fire and heat. Asbestos was frequently used in many industries and can still be found in many buildings today.
Although asbestos was very useful, it is made up of millions of fibres which when inhaled, can be very dangerous. It can take between 10 to 40 years after the inhalation of asbestos for an asbestos related disease to develop.
There are various types of asbestos related diseases and they each vary in severity. These include:
Asbestos related diseases can also affect the family members of those who come into contact with the relative’s work clothes worn whilst working with asbestos.
