Compensation for Asbestos Related Diseases

People who unfortunately suffer from an asbestos-related disease can potentially take legal action. This legal action will normally be taken against employers who are liable for the exposure of highly dangerous quantities of asbestos.

Asbestosis sufferers can also apply to a body called the Benefits Agency. This organisation help people gain industrial injuries benefit if an employee has suffered from asbestos-related conditions which are called ‘prescribed diseases’.

Types of prescribed diseases include:-

Asbestosis.
Bilateral diffuse pleural thickening.
Lung cancer which is accompanied by asbestosis and pleural thickening.
Mesothelioma.
