Asbestos-Related Lung Cancer Claims  No Win, No Fee Support

At Claims 24 Hours, we understand how tough life can feel after a diagnosis of lung cancer caused by asbestos. Medical appointments, worries about family, and the stress of money—it’s a lot to handle. That’s where we come in.

We don’t just give legal help—we give peace of mind. Our job is to guide you through the claims process in plain English, without confusing words or hidden costs. And remember: with our no win, no fee promise, you don’t pay a penny unless your case is successful.

Who Can Make a Claim?

You may be able to claim if:

• You worked with or around asbestos (for example, in construction, shipyards, factories, plumbing, or engineering).
• You were exposed indirectly—like washing clothes covered in asbestos dust.
• You lived, studied, or spent time in a building where asbestos was present.
• You lost a loved one to asbestos-related lung cancer and want to claim on their behalf.

Many people don’t realise they were exposed until years later. Even if your contact with asbestos was decades ago, you could still claim. Our solicitors know how to investigate old jobs, company records, and even building histories to find proof.

What Is Asbestos-Related Lung Cancer?

Asbestos is a building material once praised for being “fireproof” and “strong.” Sadly, people didn’t know then how dangerous it was to breathe in. Tiny fibres break off and get stuck inside the lungs. Over time, they cause scarring and cancer.

The scary part? Symptoms often don’t show up until 20–40 years later. That’s why people can be diagnosed today even though their exposure happened decades back.

Some common symptoms include:

• A cough that doesn’t go away
• Shortness of breath
• Chest pain or tiredness
• Coughing up blood

If you or a loved one has been told it’s lung cancer linked to asbestos, you deserve fair support and justice.

How Is It Different from Mesothelioma?

People often mix up mesothelioma and asbestos-related lung cancer. They are different:

• Mesothelioma affects the lining around the lungs (pleura).

• Asbestos-related lung cancer grows inside the lung tissue itself.

Both are caused by asbestos, both are deadly, and both deserve strong compensation. What matters is that if asbestos played a role in your diagnosis, you can claim—no matter if smoking was involved too.

What Kind of Compensation Can You Get?

Compensation is there to make life easier when cancer has changed everything. It can cover:

• Pain and suffering caused by the illness
• Loss of earnings if you had to stop working
• Medical expenses (treatment, prescriptions, travel to hospital)
• Care costs if you need daily help
• Support for your family if you pass away

On average, payouts are between £70,000 and £90,000—but some are higher, depending on your case. Families making claims after a death may also be awarded funeral costs and financial support.

• Specialist solicitors – We work with lawyers who know asbestos claims inside and out.
• Support for families – If you’re claiming for someone who has passed away, we’ll guide you through it gently.
• Fast response – We act quickly so you get answers without waiting months.

What If I Smoked?

Many people worry they can’t claim if they smoked. That’s not true. While smoking also causes lung cancer, asbestos exposure greatly increases the risk—even for smokers. Courts and medical experts recognise this, so you may still have a strong case.

Time Limits for Claims

In most cases, you must start your claim within three years of your diagnosis. If the claim is for a loved one who has died, the three years begin from their date of death or the day you found out asbestos was the cause.

Because time limits are strict, it’s best to get in touch as soon as possible. Even if you think you’re late, speak to us—we may still be able to help.

Extra Help Available

Aside from legal claims, you might also qualify for:

• Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) – A weekly, tax-free payment if you got cancer from asbestos at work.
• Government lump-sum schemes – For people (or their families) who can prove asbestos exposure.
• Welfare support – Benefits and allowances to help with care or mobility.

We can guide you on these options alongside your legal claim.

FAQs

Can I claim even if I don’t know when I was exposed?
Yes. Many people don’t know the exact date or place. Solicitors can trace past jobs or check building records.

How much will it cost me to claim?
Nothing upfront. With no win, no fee, you only pay if your case succeeds.

Do I need a medical diagnosis to start a claim?
Yes. A doctor must confirm it’s lung cancer, and ideally link it to asbestos exposure.

How long do cases usually take?
Some settle in months, others take longer depending on proof and whether the employer accepts responsibility.

What if the company I worked for has closed down?
You can still claim. Solicitors can trace old insurers who covered the business.

Can my family continue the claim if I die before it finishes?
Yes. Claims can be passed to family members, ensuring your loved ones still get the justice and support they deserve.
