Compensation For Mesothelioma
Asbestos became a widely used building product in Australia in the 1940s but was banned for use in construction materials in 1989, then banned altogether in 2003.
When asbestos is disturbed it releases long thin fibres into the air which can be easily inhaled and caught in the lungs.
Mesothelioma is a rare, incurable cancer caused by asbestos fibres damaging the protective membrane surrounding the chest, abdomen and organs.
Mesothelioma can occur even with only a small amount of exposure to asbestos dust and it can be decades before symptoms start to show.
If you have been diagnosed with Mesothelioma you may be able to claim compensation for loss of income, medical costs, the impact on your enjoyment of life and other out of pocket expenses.
The compensation you can claim will also depend on where and how the exposure occurred. The types of compensation you may be able to claim include:
- Workers Compensation if the exposure to asbestos dust was due to your job or your working environment
- Superannuation – through insurance you hold for Total & Permanent Disability, Income Protection and also the early release of your super
- Common Law if your exposure to asbestos was due to negligence by your employer or a third party
Your mesothelioma attorney will investigate your case thoroughly so they can advise you on the best course of action to take to ensure you get the compensation you are entitled to.
