Asbestosis is an illness that is as a result of asbestos exposure. It is a debilitating illness which in many instances, negligence resides with another person, particularly if you are a tenant or employee. The most important to understand is that, if doctors diagnose you with asbestosis, it is important to not really get medical help, but also, legal support.
The claiming process is usually split into 5 stages. The progressive nature of this enables the affected person to understand the essential aspects without any complications.
At stage one, the solicitor will try and establish the liability of the accused. This will be the person, who you deem, were responsible for exposing yourself to asbestos and also, try to uncover why. Proving this is however difficult. A statement will be required from you; describing and detailing any relevant information that will help inform your case. The type and extent of allegation will have a direct consequence on the method of evidence retrieval a solicitor will undertake. Essentially this will ensure the best possible outcome can be retrieved by the most relevant evidence.
However, difficulties arise due to the way the asbestos interacts with your body. Normally it will lay dormant, causing damage to certain cells, resulting in delayed symptoms. This can be as long as a few decades, making any pursuit prolonged and difficult to obtain the required evidence as a result of the defendant's death or lack of memory and so forth.
Stages 2 to 5 will help further establish the creditability of the case in terms of any additional obtained evidence. Medical opinion from experts will dictate and help support and initial statements.
Stage 3 will review the financial aspects by considering the amount of financial loss caused by the condition. So income and general expenses will be reviewed to help establish a fair value.
Stage 4 negotiates to try and achieve an out of court settlement by approaching the insurers of the other side. Here, if you are not satisfied are for whatever reason don't feel this is appropriate, this won't be made without your express consent.
And finally, within stage 5, this assumes that all previous attempts to find an alternative solution to court were discredited. If this stage is going to be undertaken, the solicitor will however need to ensure that there is a reasonable chance the outcome will indeed be a success.
