Have you been diagnosed with an asbestos related disease or are you worried you might be suffering from an asbestos disease?

Asbestos Diseases are Still Regularly Being Diagnosed

This is because, although the use of blue and brown asbestos in the UK was banned in 1985 and then white asbestos in 1999, it can take between 20 and 50 years from exposure to asbestos before it causes one of the asbestos diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos lung cancer, asbestosis or pleural thickening. That’s why so many people who worked with asbestos many years ago are only now being diagnosed with asbestos disease. They can still make claims and our lawyers are able to trace the employers insurance companies in most cases, even if the (company or companies) that they worked for are no longer in existence.
