FFW asbestos lawyers respond to the Ministry of Justice's consultation on the Law Lords' pleural plaques ruling

Pleural plaques consultation response

The consultation process considers the option for restoring the right to compensation for pleural plaques which was removed by the Lords last year.

FFW lawyers have been involved in fighting the test cases to retain the right to compensation for pleural plaques sufferers. Pleural plaques are scarring of the lining of the lungs caused by the asbestos fibres penetrating the wall of the lungs.
