How to choose a lawyer

Because making a mesothelioma claim is a specialised area it is important you deal with a lawyer and law firm experienced in this area of work. Lawyers who practise exclusively in this area often have a wealth of knowledge about asbestos and how and where it was used. This will often cut down the time taken to investigate a claim.

They will have a good understanding not only of how to make the claim but also about your disease and what you are coping with.

Questions you may like to ask the law firm:
  • How much experience of mesothelioma compensation claims does the lawyer have? 
  • How successful has the lawyer been in past mesothelioma compensation claims? 
  • How long does a mesothelioma compensation claim dealt with by this lawyer normally take to go to court or be settled? As a guide, claims for living mesothelioma sufferers should be finished within three to six months or sooner if possible. 
  • What charges does the lawyer make for dealing with a mesothelioma compensation claim? Does the lawyer work on a no win–no charge basis or what are the full details of charges? What are the conditions attached to no win-no charge? 
  • How much compensation am I likely to receive?
