Asbestos Claim Solicitors for British Expatriates (Expats)

Who Can Claim?
If you were exposed to asbestos, which has subsequently caused an illness, during your working life in the UK you could well be entitled to state benefits and even compensation for your former employer's insurers. Even if you live in Australia, New Zealand, the USA, Canada or anywhere else in the world.

Pannone LLP has a team of specialist asbestos claim solicitors and litigation lawyers that act for many expatriots (expats) who live overseas. Most expats  were aware that they could still get State Pension but we've been able to help many who have developed asbestos related diseases as a result of exposure to asbestos in the UK to additional state benefits like Industrial Injuries Disablement benefit, and compensation from their ex-employers or from a government scheme under the Workers Compensation Act.

E-mail, air mail and video link have made international communications fast and efficient but it remains a scary proposition for many working or retired people to instruct a lawyer thousands of miles away. We work in conjunction with solicitors and lawyers around the world to help reassure clients and act as intermediaries where necessary.

One client now living in Canada has just settled his asbestos compensation claim for £12,500 without the need for litigation but that is unusual in asbestos claims.

One of our many clients in New Zealand had to go all the way to court. English Electric Co Ltd in Stafford were sued for the death of  a commissioning engineer who  worked in power stations, steelworks and mills and who developed asbestos related mesothelioma because asbestos laggers were working nearby. When he developed the disease years later, he was living in New Zealand.  Although the defendant company eventually admitted liability there was disagreement about the value of the claim so it went to trial. Instead of travelling to England the family were able to give their evidence by video link to the Manchester County Court and before judgment was given our asbestos solicitors negotiated a settlement of £139,000.

Pannone's have similar claims from all over the world so anyone living abroad who has developed an asbestos disease from working with or near asbestos in the UK, should contact our asbestos solicitors about claiming compensation.

What will it cost?
 Our industrial disease solicitors can deal with asbestos compensation claims on a no win, no fee basis and after the event insurance can be obtained to pay the Defendants costs if the case fails.

We have already helped many expatriots to secure asbestos compensation through the British Courts. We can also help you apply for Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit and compensation under the Workers Compensation scheme.

Experience in fighting asbestos compensation claims is vital. Asbestos can maim and kill but people who were negligently exposed to asbestos in the UK can still claim compensation wherever they now live in the world.
