Understanding Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a cancer that forms in the lining of the lungs (pleura), stomach (peritoneum), or heart (pericardium). Almost every case is linked to asbestos exposure.

What makes it especially cruel is the long delay—it can take 20 to 50 years for symptoms to show. By the time it’s found, treatment options are limited.

Common symptoms include:

  • Breathing problems or chest pain
  • Persistent cough or wheezing
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Fatigue and weakness

Because it is directly linked to asbestos, victims and their families often qualify for compensation, even if exposure was decades ago.

Who Can Make a Mesothelioma Claim?

You may be able to claim if you:

  • Worked in jobs where asbestos was present (builders, shipyard workers, electricians, carpenters, engineers).
  • Were exposed indirectly (washing asbestos-covered clothes of a worker).
  • Spent time in buildings with asbestos (schools, hospitals, old factories).
  • Lost a family member to mesothelioma and want to continue their fight for justice.

Even if you can’t remember the exact job or place, don’t worry. Our solicitors are skilled at tracing old employers, insurers, and building records to prove exposure.

What Compensation Covers

Compensation is not just money—it’s recognition of the harm caused and support for the future. It can help with:

  • General damages – for pain, suffering, and loss of enjoyment of life.
  • Special damages – for medical bills, care costs, home adaptations, travel, and lost wages.
  • Dependency claims – if you’re claiming after a loved one’s death, to replace financial support they would have provided.
  • Funeral costs – to ease the burden on families.

How Much Could You Receive?

While no two cases are the same, here’s a guide:

  • General mesothelioma claims: £65,000 – £118,000
  • Full settlements with extra costs: £100,000 – £250,000+
  • High-profile or complex cases: £500,000+

Some families have received even larger amounts, especially where young children or dependents were involved.

Government Benefits & Extra Help

Alongside legal claims, you may also get:

  • Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB) – weekly tax-free payments.
  • Diffuse Mesothelioma Payment Scheme (DMPS) – if you can’t trace an employer or insurer.
  • One-off government lump sums – to help families quickly.

Our team will guide you through these extra options so nothing is missed.

Time Limits for Claims

You usually have three years from:

  • The date you first realised asbestos was the cause.

If you’re close to this deadline, don’t delay—get in touch now. Courts may sometimes allow late claims, but acting early gives you the best chance.

Real-Life Example

Imagine a factory worker exposed to asbestos in the 1970s. In 2022, he’s diagnosed with mesothelioma. Though his old company closed long ago, a solicitor traces the insurer from that time. The claim wins, and his family receives over £200,000—covering care costs, funeral expenses, and future support.

This is how mesothelioma claims bring justice, even decades later.

FAQs

Some cases finish in months, while complex ones may take longer. Urgent cases can get early payments.
