How long will my asbestos claim take?

At Browell Smith & Co we believe it is important to settle your claim as quickly as possible. We appreciate that many of our clients will face financial difficulties because of their illness, and it is important to start court proceedings at the earliest possible date. If you are suffering from, or if you are claiming because your relative developed mesothelioma, your solicitor will start court proceedings under a special Fast Track Scheme. We will do our very best to ensure that your case is concluded within six months. In most mesothelioma cases we can apply for an advance payment of damages known as an Interim Payment.
