Dust Disease & ASBESTOS Lawyers in Wollongong

How Can Our "No Win, No Fee" Wollongong Dust Disease & Asbestos Lawyers Help?

If you have suffered illness as a result of exposure to asbestos fibres or dangerous dust, at work or otherwise, you may be entitled to claim benefits and pursue a claim for damages. Your rights may continue, even if that exposure occurred many years ago or the manufacturer or employer is no longer in business.

In NSW, those who have been exposed at work to dust such as asbestos or silica and have contracted a disease such as mesothelioma, asbestosis or any other related disease may be entitled to be paid weekly compensation and medical expenses by the Dust Disease Board of NSW.

If the asbestos condition leads to death, your dependent may be entitled to make a claim.

A claim made to the Dust Disease Board does not prevent a common law claim if you can establish employer negligence and show that you've suffered from asbestos or a related dust disease as a result of this negligence.

The Dust Disease Tribunal of NSW is a Court that determines asbestos and dust disease claims. Time is sometimes critical, and Kells is prepared to offer a personal bedside service or home service if required. There are some cases where exposure outside of work can also be compensated.

A successful claim in the Dust Disease Tribunal will provide a lump sum amount for damages. It is essential that you seek legal advice to maximise any claim. Call our compensation team today and arrange a free appointment with one of our experienced lawyers.
