If your family member was exposed to asbestos during the course of their career and passed away from an asbestos related disease, whether that was asbestos related lung cancer, mesothelioma or asbestosis then you may be entitled to claim compensation on their behalf.

All new claims start with an initial phone consultation, during which we will sensitively ask you questions about your loved one, their employment history, their exposure to asbestos and their medical history. We may request to see their medical and hospital records, which we can request on your behalf with your permission.

Once we have built a clear picture of your potential claim our solicitors will be able to advise you on the likelihood of you being able to claim on their behalf.

If we believe you have a strong case, we may offer to represent you on a No Win No Fee basis.

We use Conditional Fee Agreements to fund all of our claims. These agreements are also commonly referred to as either a “CFA” or a “No Win No Fee Agreement”.

We do not require you to pay us any upfront fees to get a claim up and running.

The nature of these agreements means that law firms take all the financial risk and not the client.  If a claim fails, the law firm is not paid and the client does not have to pay any solicitor’s fees for their time.  For taking this risk, it is common for law firms to agree with a client that they will be paid a percentage of the client’s compensation at the end of a successful claim. Law firms fees are mostly paid by the insurers of the losing party and no upfront fees are required to be paid by the client to get a claim up and running.

To see if you can start a new claim with Nigel Askew Solicitors, call us now on 01507 609027.

There is a 3 year limitation period in which asbestos related claims can be made and this claim time limit starts from the date of diagnosis.

A death during the claim process starts the limitation clock again so family members have 3 years from that point to continue with a claim.

Asbestos related claims are complex so if you are thinking about starting a claim it is vital you instruct a firm with the necessary experience in this type of law.

Contact Nigel Askew Solicitors now to discuss a potential asbestos claim after death.

This is one of the most common queries we receive from new clients, who believe it is no longer possible to start a claim if an old employer has closed or was taken over many years ago.

Our solicitors are very experienced and are often able to trace the employer’s liability insurance of dormant or closed companies.

Do not let this point deter you from contacting us, we still may be able to assist you.
