Are you or any family member of yours suffering from asbestosis or asbestos-related disease? Asbestos is a group of minerals commonly used in industries such as shipbuilding and railways, electricity generation, building and construction, and insulation. All types of asbestos are hazardous and can lead to a number of health problems.
Asbestosis is a long-term lung condition caused by continued exposure to asbestos. Symptoms of asbestosis are shortness of breath and cough. These symptoms usually begin many years after the initial exposure to asbestos. Many people suffer from asbestosis until 15 to 30 years after exposure. Asbestosis also causes swollen fingers or finger clubbing but this symptom is less common.
If you are suffering from asbestosis, you are entitled to claim asbestosis compensation. You should call a law firm who has many years of experience in winning asbestosis claims. The solicitor must be reliable and friendly to make you understand the asbestosis claims process in easy terms.
People with asbestosis also have a higher risk of developing other serious conditions such as lung cancer, mesothelioma and pleural disease. There is no cure to asbestosis. There are treatments, including oxygen therapy which can significantly improve the quality of life of someone with asbestosis.
If you have been diagnosed with asbestosis within the last 3 years and it is associated with asbestos exposure from your past or present occupation, you must contact an experienced law firm such as LPS to successfully claim asbestosis compensation using their No Win No Fee claims process.
