Claiming compensation for industrial diseases
MPH solicitors handle every kind of industrial disease claim and we specialise in claims relating to asbestos exposure, including pleural plaques, pleural thickening, asbestosis, lung cancer and Mesothelioma.
It can take 30 years for problems relating to asbestos exposure to become known, and cases are not expected to reach their peak until 2020. Figures show that 5000 a year die from asbestos related illnesses, although this may actually be higher when you factor in cases of lung cancer caused or contributed to by asbestos exposure.
Because so many years can elapse between exposure and illness, claims require a tenacious, committed and detailed forensic approach to obtaining evidence from you, your family and work colleagues. It may be that the company responsible no longer exists and has to be located and restored to the Companies Register.
Led by Dominic Hemsi, our Industrial Disease team has specialist knowledge of the dates by which employees should have known of the dangers of asbestos. We work with specialist medical experts and engineering experts, who are always required in this type of case, and we have a team of experienced experts and barristers to advise us. Because of our success in investigating and prosecuting these difficult cases, we are members of the Panel of Solicitors for the Greater Manchester Asbestos Victim Support Group and form part of a network of specialist lawyers.

I don’t know how to thank you for winning the case for my Hughie and for your kindness and understanding. All the staff were very helpful and understanding, all messages were dealt with, nothing was too much trouble – it was like a family business. I cannot thank you enough.
