What Is Asbestos?
Asbestos is a natural mineral, which is still mined throughout the world, and used in manufacturing and construction. It is popular in these industries because of itsresistance to heat, electricity and sound.
The use of asbestos was banned in the US in 1999, but it is still present in many buildings built before this time.
Sadly, it is extremely dangerous and causes a number of diseases. Every year in the US, over 2,500 people die from the asbestos cancer, mesothelioma.
If you have been exposed to asbestos and develop an asbestos-related disease, you may have the right to claim compensation.

In the past, we have successfully claimed asbestos disease compensation for people who have had ‘secondary exposure’ to the material.
Secondary exposure occurs when an asbestos worker unwittingly brings asbestos dust into their home and exposes their family. A common example encountered is that of a partner washing a family member’s asbestos-contaminated work clothing.
Environmental exposure can also occur. This is often applicable to those who have lived near asbestos factories in the past.
