I did not work with asbestos but I have been told that my condition has been caused by exposure to asbestos. Can I claim?

In many cases the answer is yes. Your solicitor will investigate whether you have been exposed elsewhere, perhaps because another member of your household brought home clothing contaminated in asbestos dust, or possibly because you lived near to a site where asbestos products were manufactured. Many people are not aware that products which they worked with on a daily basis contained asbestos, for example: cements and artex ceiling and floor tiles insulation used in fridges, freezers, cookers and even hairdryers cisterns, tanks, rainwater goods bitumen products, gutter linings and flashings PVC flooring brake pads, gaskets.
