Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma?
I have recently lost my mum due to this awful asbestos desease & have been strongly advised to claim compensation. Has any one out there received compensation for the loss of some one due to the same condition. If so how much? I am not doing this for the money as I am donating this to charity.

- yes my dad died of this terrible disease 6 yrs ago we were advised to claim compensation from the government, we got 10k pounds which altho in no way compensating for the loss of my dad helped my mum.
- You need to speak to the Citizens Advice Bureau for guidance - I think (am not 100% sure) that she should have made the claim herself - not sure if you can belatedly. You will need proper advice if you want to pursue a claim - this disease is nasty and although compansation packages were announced - there may be a time limit on it also - that's why I advise getting some advice. AND - id you are successful - keep some of the money - having watched your mother die from this - it is just reward for you nd she would not mind. I saw my grandfather die of this and my father in law has it as well from previous working in the late 60's and early 70's on building works. It is not pleasant
- Definitely seek legal advice. You are entitled to claim for this, although I know it in no way eases your pain. I wish you well.
- Here's the site of a GREAT personal injury law firm that helped a friend of the family through their mesothelioma case. I'm not sure what the settlement was, but typical cases are usually in the 10s of millions. Here's the site as mentioned- http://www.mesolawsuit.com/ I hope they can help and I am truly sorry about the loss of your mother.
