Frequently asked questions.
Since exposure to hazards like asbestos generally occurs long before related diseases develop, it might seem hard to pinpoint exactly where and when you were exposed.
But we can help. Our specialist dust disease and asbestos lawyers will work with you to identify any potential exposure, including:
- Living in close proximity to industrial sites
- Work-related exposure to asbestos, silica or other dusts
- Being in a home that contained asbestos during renovations
- Working with asbestos, or being around someone who was working with asbestos
Your Law Partners legal team will investigate and thoroughly document all the required evidence on your behalf.
Asbestos-related diseases can take many years to develop. No matter how long ago you were exposed to asbestos, you may still have a valid claim for compensation, and compensation amounts can be significant. There’s no cost to speak to one of our asbestos lawyers and discuss your situation.
Yes, there have been many cases of successful compensation claims for asbestos-related illnesses such as mesothelioma on behalf of people who have lived with someone who worked with asbestos. Asbestos fibres can be brought into the home on clothing, skin and in hair, leaving family members exposed. If you believe you’ve been exposed to asbestos in this way, you may have a valid claim.
No win no fee lawyers offer to run your case for you and only get paid when you win. If you choose the right lawyer, it’s an excellent option that allows you to pursue your claim without any risk, but it’s important to check the lawyer’s costs agreement to fully understand what’s covered. With some no win no fee lawyers you can still end up having to pay thousands of dollars in disbursements if your case is unsuccessful. This is because their no win no fee agreements cover their professional fees but not the costs they incur. At Law Partners, our no win no fee, no disbursements guarantee covers all our costs and disbursements as well as our professional fees, so you can pursue your claim with peace of mind.
