Mesothelioma Claims

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that mainly affects the lungs, chest and abdomen. It attacks the lining that covers most of the organs in the body and leads to chest pain, a shortness of breath and other serious complications.

Asbestos exposure

Mesothelioma is virtually always caused by an exposure to asbestos, usually through its inhalation. Asbestos is a naturally occurring yet highly hazardous substance. It was used by manufacturers and builders in the late nineteenth century for its insulation and fire resistant properties. It can still be found in buildings from the twentieth century meaning there are a great number of people at risk of contracting the disease.

The HSE (Health and safety executive) advises that anyone who has worked on buildings that were built or refurbished before 2000 are at risk of mesothelioma. However, due to its use in the building and refurbishment of schools and hospitals there are a growing number of reports of doctors, nurses and teachers contracting asbestos related diseases as well.
