We’re over the moon to receive this feedback like this from Lee. It was an absolute privilege supporting Lee and his family through their asbestos claim.

Every claim is more than a case - each family has a story.

You wouldn’t say there was a plane accident or a train accident.

Such a horrific event is referred to as a plane crash or a train crash. So, why do we say car accident?

Solicitor Emily Taylor had conduct of my case. She was very thorough, attentive, always prompt to deal with any enquiries and very professional. She was also friendly, easy to speak to and dealt with my case sensitively. As this was a fatal RTC case that was so important. We had a successful outcome to the claim. I would highly recommend Emily and Alderstones in general.

The story of women and the deadly legacy of asbestos is different to men but no less tragic.

This blog addresses some of the unique challenges that women face securing justice and compensation once diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease.
