Newcastle, UK - Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that develops in the lining covering the outer surface of some of the organs within the body. This type of cancer is often linked to asbestos exposure as the asbestos fibres that may have been inhaled whilst working around asbestos get stuck inside the lungs. Although asbestos was banned completely in 1999, older buildings may still contain this material. Individuals or workers working throughout the last 50 years however may have been working close to asbestos or may have been exposed to asbestos for extended periods of time. Due to this, employers may be liable to paying compensation either due to the fact that they were aware of the dangers of asbestos or due to the fact that workers were working in asbestos affected areas.

There are a wide range of individuals who may have been exposed to asbestos historically, including teachers, shipbuilders, asbestos and coal miners, individuals in the military, construction and demolition workers among others. As shifting or moving asbestos can release fibres into the air, construction and demolition workers may have been particularly at risk of exposure and inhalation. Second-hand contact can also cause Mesothelioma, such as washing clothes containing asbestos fibres. In this article, Thompson & Co Solicitors discuss Mesothelioma as well as how you may be entitled to asbestos compensation.
