Mesothelioma: what our clients say about us

Alan Dingley (pictured in the back row,

|
"In July 2006 when Alan was
diagnosed with mesothelioma a day before his 65th birthday, our
world fell apart, and the last thing on our mind was
compensation.

Our daughter scoured the
internet, found you, and told us she was pursuing the claim on our
behalf. From our first meeting
at our house when you came to gather the revelent information
through to the moment we received our cheque for £200,000 we have
not been caused any hassle, bother or intrusion. Even when Court
was held in our front room, we were made to feel as though it was a
normal everyday occurance. You put us at ease and put our feelings
first and foremost. We cannot thank you enough, the money
means we can do anything we want whilst Alan is still fit enough
and active to do so'. |
Information about mesothelioma
Malignant mesothelioma is a type of cancer which arises in the
lining around the lung, or less commonly in the abdomen. Most
sufferers die within a year of diagnosis. Most cases of
mesothelioma are caused by exposure to asbestos fibres many years
previously, although in about 10% of cases no exposure can be
identified and the tumour appears to occur spontaneously. The
incidence of mesothelioma is rising rapidly. Currently there are
about 1,800 new cases a year in the UK and our death toll is
expected to reach more that 2,450 a year between 2011 and 2015.
