Our Mesothelioma and Asbestos claims expertise

We have one of the country's leading mesothelioma and asbestos claims practices and we pursue claims on behalf of those who have developed asbestos-related diseases.

Our mesothelioma and asbestos team act on a 'no win, no fee' basis. We do not expect you to travel to our offices - we can visit you at home.

We have successfully concluded over 2,150 asbestos compensation claims, recovering over £155 million damages on behalf of sufferers and their families, throughout the UK and abroad.

We also raise funds for research into asbestos diseases. We have raised more than £40,000 since 2003 as part of our corporate social responsibility.

Asbestos diseases are caused by inhaling asbestos dust a mineral commonly used in the construction industry until the 1970s.. The main diseases caused by inhaling asbestos are:

  • mesothelioma
  • asbestosis
  • lung cancer
  • pleural plaques

People who have been exposed to asbestos include builders, plumbers and shipyard workers, but teachers, children and nurses are believed to have been put at risk since asbestos was used in the construction of several schools and hospitals.

Families of those who work with asbestos can also be infected if asbestos particles are brought into the home on clothes. It can take more than 40 years for symptoms to show.

If you have developed any of these conditions and believe that you have been exposed to asbestos contact one of our specialist lawyers for information and legal advice.

For more information or if you would like to discuss a potential legal claim, please don't hesitate to call us on freephone 0800 358 3848, email personalinjury@ffw.com or complete our short enquiry form.
