Unfortunately, there is evidence that many people are missing out on the mesothelioma compensation payouts they deserve. For example, analysis of an Association of British Insurers scheme that is designed to trace the insurance companies of defunct employers showed it was proving successful in only 41 percent of cases.
As a result, Andrew Dismore, Labour MP for Hendon and vice chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Occupational Safety and Health introduced a private member's bill that would oblige the insurance industry to address the mesothelioma compensation problem in a more meaningful way.
The MP explained, "There are only two types of insurance which are legally compulsory: for cars and for employers.
"If a driver does not have insurance, then there is a residual 'insurer of last resort' arrangement, the Motor Insurance Bureau, which will pay out if somebody is injured due to a negligent driver who was not insured.
"However, there are no similar provisions in relation to employers' liability. Some employers do not have insurance, clearly a criminal offence, but it is not fair that an injured worker should lose out as a result."
"Often it is impossible to track the insurer or employer concerned who may have long ceased trading; or only after extremely expensive and difficult legal enquiries.
And Dismore believes that he has the answer that would make the job of no win, no fee solicitors and the plight of asbestos-related diseases sufferers much easier. "An Employers' Liability Insurance Bureau, similar to that of the Motor Insurance Bureau, is the answer," he says.
