Families affected by asbestos related diseases can access advice and support
Lancashire residents whose lives have been affected by asbestos-related diseases are being invited to attend a new advice and support group which is being launched in the region. Founded by national law firm Simpson Millar, which has a specialist industrial disease team, the monthly meetings will provide access to information about government financial aid available and advice on legal rights to make a compensation claim.
Job roles that are most common to asbestos exposure are trade workers such as plumbers, electricians, carpenters, teachers and hospital workers due to either disturbance whilst building or working in older structures with a high presence of asbestos. Asbestos diseases that can arise from exposure to asbestos fibres are mesothelioma, a type of cancer that grows in the lining of organs, usually the lungs, abdomen, or heart.
