Asbestosis
Despite early evidence that it was dangerous, many companies downplayed the risks of asbestos exposure, continuing to manufacture asbestos products and failing to provide employees with necessary protection. However, for many, it was too late. Thousands of former workers have since developed serious, life-threatening asbestos exposure-related diseases, including asbestosis, pleural mesothelioma, peritoneal mesothelioma, and lung cancer. Often heavy exposure and inhalation of asbestosis fibres causes lung fibrosis. For these victims, there is hope.
Asbestos is a toxic, naturally occurring mineral that was found in thousands of products – such as home and boat insulation, brake pads, and floor and ceiling tiles – through roughly 1980, when it was determined to cause a myriad of life-threatening asbestos exposure-related diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and pleural mesothelioma.
When asbestos fibres are inhaled, they get trapped in the lungs, causing scar tissue build-up and lesions. These lead to difficult breathing, disease, and sadly death. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of cases of pleural mesothelioma and other asbestos exposure related diseases, many symptoms do not develop until many years after exposure.
Typical industries are construction workers, drywallers, shipbuilders, floor covering installers, automobile repair workers, cementers, oil refinery workers, and other laborers who worked with asbestos are most at risk of developing pleural mesothelioma, asbestosis, or lung cancer.
If you have been diagnosed with Asbestosis or Mesothelioma within the last 3 years you may be able to claim compensation. Exposure to asbestos during the course of employment may be the cause of your condition. Contact us today for a no obligation free consultation regarding claiming personal injury compensation.

Pleural Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a disease caused by asbestos and is a thickening of the lining of the lungs. Symptoms include chest pain, loss of appetite, weight and breathlessness. We have specialist industrial disease solicitors who will give you an honest assessment of your case.
Pleural mesothelioma is a lung cancer brought on by exposure to asbestos. When inhaled, asbestos fibers become embedded in the pleura, or outer lining of the lungs, leaving behind scarring and lesions. These lesions and scars eventually develop into full-blown pleural mesothelioma, a deadly form of lung cancer for which there is no cure. Asbestos fibres can also settle in the abdominal region, triggering the development of peritoneal mesothelioma. This type of lung cancer is equally dangerous.
Like asbestosis, both pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma generally lies somewhat dormant for years after a victim is exposed to asbestos; some patients do not show symptoms until a long time after exposure
These symptoms of pleural mesothelioma include:
• Chronic cough
• Expectorating blood
• Stomach pain
• Shortness of breath/ wheezing
• Chronic fatigue
• Weight loss
• Chest pain
Available Mesothelioma Treatments
• Removal of fluid accumulation from the chest
• Surgery
• Chemotherapy
• Radiation
• Gene therapy
• Photodynamic therapy
• Immunotherapy
