Specialist Asbestos & Industrial Disease Solicitors
Being diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease is a traumatic experience for you and your family. Unlike other injuries, these conditions have a long “latency period,” meaning symptoms often appear 20 to 50 years after the original exposure. You may be retired and worried that, because your former employer has gone out of business, you cannot seek justice. This is a common misconception.
At WE Solicitors in Manchester, we specialise in these complex “legacy” claims. Our team tracks down the historic insurers of defunct companies to ensure compensation is paid. We understand that time is often a critical factor. Therefore, we prioritise securing early interim payments to fund private medical treatments, such as immunotherapy, and to cover immediate care needs. Whether you worked in construction, engineering, or were exposed to dust on a family member’s work clothes, we act with the urgency and sensitivity your case demands.
Tracing Liability for Historic Exposure
The primary challenge in asbestos cases is proving employment and exposure from decades ago. You do not need to have your original employment contracts. At WE Solicitors, we utilise the HMRC Schedule of Employment to map your work history. We also access a vast database of historic insurers and witness statements from former colleagues.
If you have been diagnosed with a condition like Mesothelioma, the law allows us to fast-track your case through the specialist list in the High Court. This ensures that you receive a settlement or judgment while you are still able to benefit from the funds.
