Asbestos claims are often work related. There have been more work-related deaths in Australia as a result of asbestos exposure than any other single cause.
Asbestos is a natural mineral that was used widely in industry because of its unique flexibility, strength, insulation and other properties.
It’s only when asbestos is disturbed, and airborne fibres are inhaled into the lungs, that it becomes a risk.
Those who worked with asbestos—undertaking repairs, renovations and other things that released asbestos fibres into the air—are most at risk of developing diseases as a result of exposure.
Asbestos claims generally arise well after the exposure, since Asbestos-related diseases usually take years to develop.
Common Asbestos-Related Diseases
If you’ve been exposed to asbestos in the workplace, at home, or in the community, you may be at risk of developing:
- Mesothelioma
- Asbestosis
- Asbestos-related lung cancer
- Pleural disease
How We Prove Asbestos Exposure
You may not remember exactly how or when you were exposed — that’s normal. Our team has extensive experience in tracing exposure and can assist by:
- Taking a detailed history of your work and personal background
- Accessing our database of asbestos exposure sites and products in NSW
- Investigating known asbestos manufacturers and suppliers
- Gathering medical and witness evidence to support your claim
