Asbestos is a mineral which was often used in the insulation
industry because of its properties of heat and chemical resistance,
sound absorption and tensile strength. It became of widespread use
during the industrial revolution in the 19th Century,
when the risk of mesothelioma was not known.
Towards the end of the 19th Century dangers connected
with use of asbestos became known. Despite this it was a further 90
years until the substance was finally banned in England and Wales.
Before then several sets of Regulations were introduced regulating
its use to try to protect those who handled asbestos because of
their job.
There are 3 main types of asbestos which are commonly
categorised as white, brown and blue asbestos. All types are
dangerous to health although it is thought that brown and blue
asbestos lead to an increased risk of developing mesothelioma. It
is asbestos in the dust form breathed in which is the most
dangerous. The fibres act like tiny needles which stick to your
airways and cause different types of disease.
Employers and their insurers can challenge asbestos claim cases
on different grounds. It is important that your asbestos solicitor
is familiar with the issues raised in asbestos litigation and can
run your asbestos claim accordingly. At EAD we have over 100 years
combined experience dealing with asbestos claims from malignant
mesothelioma compensation claims of the utmost severity to the most
minor of respiratory disabilities. We and our asbestos solicitors
