Anyone who is considering making an asbestosis compensation claim will be in the process of facing up to an on-going commitment to essential treatments and lifestyle changes.
These treatments and lifestyle changes are not to be taken lightly – not only are they likely to be inconvenient, invasive and sometimes traumatic, they are also, for many sufferers, going to make the difference between life and death.
Treatments
For example, thoracentesis, the process of removing fluid from the between the lung lining and chest, involves the insertion into the thorax of a kind of hollow needle called a cannula, which then drains pleural fluid. The process is invasive and painful so requires the use of an anaesthetic.
Furthermore, it is likely that sufferers will have to remember to take a variety of medicines, from bronchodilators to theophyllines. As with all medicines, there is a risk of side effects – these might range from headaches and irritability to vomiting, insomnia and abdominal pain.
Another treatment is oxygen therapy. Oxygen therapy involves the use of an oxygen concentrator to supply air to the oxygen-deprived lungs of sufferers. This can be done at home, but the mere fact of being short of oxygen is, naturally, a very distressing experience.
Lifestyle changes
Smokers who have been diagnosed with asbestosis and who are in the process of making an asbestosis compensation claim should cease smoking immediately. Not only does smoking decrease lung function, it also considerably raises the lung cancer risk among asbestosis sufferers.
It will also be necessary for sufferers to receive vaccinations for potential respiratory illnesses such as influenza.

In fact, in the UK each year more people are killed as a result of asbestos exposure than as a result of road traffic accidents.
