Have you been diagnosed with an asbestos disease? vbr Lawyers supports people in Sydney and all over New South Wales to get the compensation you deserve for your asbestos disease.
Typically takes less than 30 minutes.
Asbestos diseases are a group of serious health conditions caused by asbestos exposure. If you’ve been diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease, then you are highly likely to be entitled to legal compensation.
Asbestos exposure can lead to severe health complications, like mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer. These diseases can take many decades to develop following exposure to asbestos.
There are specific criteria you need to meet to claim compensation for asbestos-related diseases. If you’re trying to determine whether you might have a claim, here’s what you should consider.
You must have a confirmed medical diagnosis of an asbestos-related illness, such as mesothelioma or asbestosis.
For any compensation entitlement, it is vitally important that an accurate history is taken of your past exposure to asbestos, whether that’s from employment activity, self-employment, home renovations or other sources. vbr Lawyers has the industry knowledge and experience gained from our many past cases to ensure a proper and accurate history is taken. This allows us to identify the most efficient pathway to compensation for you quickly.
We understand that the last thing our clients want is an inexperienced lawyer “reinventing the wheel” and pursuing claim processes and parties that are ineffective in recovering compensation. We are experts at identifying the best entities to pursue for past periods of asbestos exposure to ensure any compensation entitlements are maximised. This includes claims against employers and the manufacturers of asbestos building and insulation products.
It’s important to act quickly after diagnosis to ensure your case is completed in a prompt manner, as many asbestos related conditions can significantly reduce your life expectancy.
Always speak with an asbestos related disease lawyer to assess your claim and navigate the legal process.
