Asbestos-related disease falls into various categories including mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer, pleural thickening and pleural plaques. In the past, we have acted for thousands of successful claimants. If you are suffering from, or suspect you are suffering from any of these diseases, please contact us as soon as possible as time limits for making claims apply.
Unfortunately, symptomless pleural plaques are not compensatable at present. However, we would urge you to register with us if you are suffering from pleural plaques in order that should the law in this area change, we will be in a position to contact you to discuss compensation.
Time limits apply to making a claim so make sure you contact us as soon as possible for advice. Our Personal Injury Team has handled thousands of successful cases on behalf of those injured in this type of accident.
Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is generally caused by exposure to asbestos. Often the exposure takes place early in life and does not cause injury, sometimes for 30 or 40 years. If you are diagnosed as suffering from this serious asbestos-related disease you may be entitled to compensation. At Poole Townsend we specialise in claiming asbestos disease compensation. There are time limits in which claims must be made and therefore if you or a member of your family are suffering from mesothelioma you should contact one of our specialist team as soon as possible.

Case Studies
- Mr. P. suffered from a chest complaint and had difficulties in breathing. When his symptoms were investigated it was discovered that he was suffering from mesothelioma, an asbestos-related disease. It was discovered that he had worked at the Shipyard thirty years before and had been extensively exposed to asbestos dust. He was provided with no protection against asbestos dust. Sadly, as a result of his injury, Mr. P. died within a year of diagnosis. The family received almost £100,000.00 compensation in settlement of Mr. P’s claim and in respect of the family’s dependency upon him.
- Mrs Y was the wife of a shipyard worker who died of asbestos related disease. Sometime after her husband’s death, Mrs Y was diagnosed with mesothelioma, which was found to have been caused by Mrs Y washing her husband’s overalls when he worked with asbestos. Unfortunately Mrs Y died. Her family successfully recovered compensation in excess of £50,000.00.
