ASBESTOSIS

Employers in industries, which commonly made use of asbestos-related materials during the 1960s and 1970s, are likely to face a substantial increase in claims for damages arising from asbestos-related deaths. Long established and successful building firms are particularly at risk. Are you one of them?

Are you facing the possibility of claims from previous employers who at some stage may have been exposed to Asbestos during their employment with you? Do these claims come from employers who have long since left or retired from your employment? Does this seem a very daunting threat to your business and your livelihood, especially now that claims are being awarded well in excess of six figure sums?

At Prettys we have a dedicated Specialist Asbestosis Group to advise and assist employers facing any such claims regarding Asbestosis. We are here to help and ensure your business remains intact.
