“My husband certainly should not have died from something he encountered when he was so very young. Still seems unbelievable. You and your colleagues have done an excellent job for myself and my family. Thank you” Elizabeth Allen
What if my employer no longer exists? How much will it cost me? Most cases can be dealt with under a “no win, no fee” agreement. This means there is no financial risk to you in making a compensation claim. We don’t make any deductions for legal costs or expenses from the compensation awarded. When can you claim? This is a common problem but even if the company no longer exists, it is often possible to trace their insurers. We have an excellent track record of tracing the relevant insurers who will then deal with the claim. In a case of mesothelioma where neither the former employer nor their insurers can be traced, a claim can be made to the Diffuse Mesothelioma Payment Scheme. We will prepare and submit this application for you. The law normally requires that court proceedings are started within three years of when you are first told that you have mesothelioma, or within three years of the date of death of the injured person. There are some limited exceptions to this rule, so if you are past the time limit please get in touch with our team to discuss matters further.
