Compensation for Asbestos-related Lung Cancer
It can be difficult to prove that a client’s lung cancer is caused by exposure to asbestos because there are a number of other factors which can cause the disease, most commonly smoking.
However, if a lung cancer patient is already suffering from an asbestos-related disease, it is usually accepted by the legal and medical profession that the cancer was caused by asbestos. In other cases, there needs to be evidence of prolonged or heavy asbestos exposure in order to claim damages.
Why you should trust Thompsons with your asbestos-related lung cancer claim
Thompsons Solicitors has a track-record of winning compensation on behalf of hundreds of thousands of clients with lung cancer.
At Thompsons, we have been involved in asbestos litigation for over 40 years, longer than any other law firm in the UK. We brought the first successful asbestos compensation case to the House of Lords back in 1972, and we've been involved in every significant case around the law of asbestos compensation since then.
During that time, our experts have collected unrivalled records regarding asbestos exposure. Thompsons now holds the UK's largest asbestos register containing details about the exposure of thousands of individuals across the UK.
We have access to expert reports, historical records of asbestos in local areas, and information about which companies used asbestos and when. The register gives us a unique insight into common sources of asbestos exposure and provides a database of potential witnesses to support your claim.
Our extensive records also include lists of employers’ insurers, even for employers that have long since ceased trading.
Having this wealth of evidence at our fingertips enables us to prepare winning asbestos cases in a fraction of the time taken by other law firms, who will often be starting from scratch.
Our experienced lawyers also work closely with support groups and medical services to offer support to those diagnosed and affected by lung cancer.
