What is mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a tumour which affects the mesothelium, most commonly in the lining of the lung, but can also affect the abdominal cavity, heart or testes.

Mesothelioma is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos and has a long latency period of typically between 20 and 50 years.

The disease is often associated with a rapid and significant weight loss combined with heavy and sudden sweating, particularly at night.

How can Boyes Turner help mesothelioma suffers to bring a claim?

Our highly experienced mesothelioma and asbestos claims solicitors are skilled in supporting those with asbestos-related diseases and their families. We understand the difficulties that being diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease can create.

We have helped recover over £77 million in compensation since 2005 for those with asbestos related diseases. Read about our previous mesothelioma cases to find out how we have helped others like you.

We are happy to put you in touch with a charity who can assist you in making any appropriate applications for government benefits such as Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit and under the Pneumoconiosis etc (Workers’ Compensation) Act 1979, Diffuse Mesothelioma Scheme 2008 or Diffuse Mesothelioma Payment Scheme 2014. 

Many of our lawyers have dedicated their careers to acting for those affected by asbestos-related disease.

The UK’s leading legal commentators, Chambers Guide to the Legal Profession and The Legal 500, continue to rate us as one of the leading firms in the country for helping people who have suffered an industrial disease get maximum compensation in the minimum amount of time.

How much will it cost to bring a mesothelioma claim?

We offer Conditional Fee Agreements (CFAs or "no win no fee") and as a client with mesothelioma you will receive 100% of your compensation.

We always provide an initial interview free of charge, without any obligations to take matters further. At that meeting we will discuss how to fund your claim and the benefits available to mesothelioma sufferers.
