Asbestos & Dust Diseases FAQ

When should I make my claim?

Within three years of when you first become aware that you’ve suffered injury which was caused by your employer or manufacturer of products you have used.

We recommend speaking with our mesothelioma lawyers as soon as possible after diagnosis of an asbestos disease to ensure you receive your full entitlements.

What do I have to prove to get compensation?

You must prove that it is more probable than not that your employer or a manufacturer breached their duty of care and this breach made a material contribution to the cause of your injury.

To determine this, the extent, duration and intensity of the asbestos exposure is examined.

Our asbestos lawyers can help determine who the responsible party is for your injuries and lodge a claim on your behalf as soon as possible.

Can I claim for the death of a loved one?

Yes. You can claim the cost of burial or cremation, family counselling services, medical and associated treatment between the date of your loved one’s injury and death.

You can also claim a weekly pension and a substantial lump sum payment. In some cases, you may also have a claim for common law damages.
