Action Mesothelioma Day 2008

The 27th of February 2008 saw the 3rd Action Mesothelioma Day, where solicitors (from each of our offices) attended events throughout the UK, to raise awareness of this disease, and more poignantly, to remember both past and present clients.

Our specialist mesothelioma solicitors can help

Diagnoses vary according to the nature and length of exposure, but conditions such as mesothelioma (an asbestos-related malignancy) are recognised as medical conditions for which legal claims can be made. These can be attributed to prolonged exposure to harmful matter such as toxic chemicals, asbestos and coal dust.

"Asbestosis" is only one type of asbestos-related illness. Some people do develop asbestos-related malignancies (mesothelioma or lung cancer), which are usually life threatening. The Irwin Mitchell specialist mesothelioma solicitors deal exclusively with claims for victims of asbestos related diseases. We have an excellent track record in this field.

For example, we represented June Hancock who grew up in Armley where children would play amongst the asbestos dust in the school playground. June's mother was diagnosed with mesothelioma and died in 1982. It was only when June herself was diagnosed with the same condition in 1994 she decided to take legal action and seek justice for her mother and many others affected through a local company's negligence. Irwin Mitchell has also obtained the highest recorded damages award for a mesothelioma sufferer (£1.15 million).
