Asbestos-Related Illness Claims

There are many different types of illnesses and conditions you can develop after being exposed to asbestos. To the left side of this page you will find links to information pages about asbestos and the illnesses it can cause, together with information about how to begin a personal injury compensation claim.

If you cannot find the information you need, please telephone us on 08000 224 224 or complete one of our online personal injury compensation claim forms.

Thompsons Solicitors have a history of fighting for the rights of all workers and in particular for those who have been negligently exposed to asbestos by their employers. We won the first ever successful compensation claim in the UK for asbestos related disease in 1972 and we have been involved in numerous campaigns to ensure that victims of asbestos receive the compensation they are entitled to.

When choosing a solicitor to represent you in making a compensation claim for an asbestos related illness, you need to contact a specialist solicitor as this type of claim is very different to other types of personal injury claims. Due to the fact that asbestos related illnesses often take several decades to develop, evidence can be difficult to obtain and witnesses or companies responsible for the exposure, hard to trace.

At Thompsons Solicitors we have regional asbestos units all across the UK where our specialist asbestos solicitors / lawyers deal exclusively with personal injury claims for the victims of asbestos related illnesses and their families.  Due to our extensive experience of handling this type of case, we have been able to build up a substantial database of information about employers known to have negligently exposed their employees to asbestos in the past.  Having access to this information often saves valuable time when trying to discover details of insurance companies responsible for insuring companies which have long since ceased trading.

We always try to recover the maximum amount of compensation our clients are entitled to within the shortest possible time. Please read some extracts from letters of thanks we have received from clients we have helped to make compensation claims for asbestos related diseases.

There are strict time limits in place to make any personal injury compensation claim.  For further information, contact us or visit our Questions Answered page.

Thompsons Solicitors have also written an information page with advice for people who have recently been exposed to asbestos but have not been diagnosed with a related illness.
