Being diagnosed with an industrial disease such as mesothelioma is hugely traumatic, both for the patient and their loved ones. Our specialist Industrial Disease Solicitors always consider how having a serious illness affects mental health. So if we take on your claim for compensation, we’ll work diligently to make sure your emotional as well as physical needs are met.
We have close links with many specialist counsellors, charities and organisations, so we can help you access the support you need and speak to people in similar situations. We always look at arranging specialist counselling where requested and holistic remedies such as reflexology, and make sure this is included in all our mesothelioma claims to avoid our clients having to pay.
Claiming compensation isn’t just about money. It’s about helping you and your family live with your condition - and addressing the emotional effects of mesothelioma is a crucial part of this.

We're rated‘Excellent’Eve from Exmouth has been having bereavement counselling with Quiet Mind, after losing her partner and soulmate, David Palferman, to mesothelioma.
She said, “Helen Grady from Simpson Millar set this up for me recently and this has been an absolute lifeline. I can have as many sessions as I need, and I have been feeling so much better recently because of this.
“It is good to know that help is available and to have a Solicitor who cares enough to listen to my concerns and set it all up with a recommended counsellor, who herself lost a loved one through mesothelioma, has been such a huge help to me.”
Gary from Yeovil was diagnosed with mesothelioma and had 6 cycles of chemotherapy that caused a tingling sensation to his feet. He’s now having private immunotherapy treatment through a specialist oncologist from the Nuffield Hospital in Bristol.
He said, “The reflexology has been extremely useful and helped to relieve a lot of the tingling in my feet. As my wife has suffered with the difficulties of coming to terms with my diagnosis, she too has been having reflexology treatment and has found this to have a calming effect. This has helped us together to come to terms with our situation.”
Many people diagnosed with mesothelioma struggle with the uncertainty it causes, according to research by the University of Sheffield. For example, many worry about how long they have left to live and how quickly their cancer will progress. As a result, they worry about what the next day or month will bring, and wonder if they should look forward to future occasions and life events.
We offer free legal advice, a free assessment of your case, and our mesothelioma clients receive 100% of the compensation they are awarded.
As Industrial Disease Solicitors, we see every day the different ways in which mesothelioma affects patients and their families. So we’re determined to make claiming compensation for a mesothelioma as stress-free as possible.
For many of our clients, the legal process is dealt with within weeks of diagnosis through the Veterans Agency or Mesothelioma Payment Scheme. This takes away so much stress and is a quick, almost rubber stamp process, allowing lump sums of compensation to be paid out quickly so that our clients can make their own financial arrangements whilst they are well enough to do so.
We understand that working with a Solicitor may seem daunting, and that feeling often isn’t helped by the legal jargon so we’ll always speak to you in straightforward terms.
Throughout the mid-20th century, asbestos was heavily used for the building and maintenance of train engines and passenger carriages. This put many people who worked in locomotive workshops at significant risk as they would be exposed to asbestos on a daily basis.
Knowing what we now know about asbestos, it’s difficult to believe that it was so widely used in many industries throughout the 20th century.
Asbestos was a material used widely in the UK before it was banned in 1999. It became known that should the material become disturbed, it could release fibres which could be very damaging to your health.
