The success or otherwise of an asbestosis claim can sometimes hinge on the collecting of witness statements from people who worked with the claimant at the time of alleged exposure.
All too often, insurance companies seek to avoid liability for asbestos illness claims and, with fateful exposure often occurring many decades in the past, the only way to ensure that the veracity of a claimant's account of the past can be verified is for his or her personal injury solicitor to seek corroborating statements from former colleagues.
Unfortunately, tracing colleagues of the claimant can be a complicated and difficult process, involving a great deal of research and detective work. Sometimes, too, public appeals for witnesses may be necessary through local newspapers, trade union magazines and internet forums.
The waiting involved in garnering witness statements can be a stressful process and is one which any potential claimant must consider before proceeding.
Because of the long latency periods involved with asbestos illnesses, often as many as 40 or 50 years, it may sometimes transpire that witnesses who might otherwise have come forward have passed away, not infrequently as a result of an asbestos-related illness.
However, industrial illness lawyers are skilled in collating evidential statements from former colleagues, and many have strong track records in ensuring that this process ends in just settlement for asbestosis sufferers and their families – without this work there is the possibility that claimants may go uncompensated.
If you have been diagnosed with asbestos related illness and know that you suffered asbestos exposure during your working life, there is a strong possibility that you may be entitled to claim compensation for your pain, suffering and lost earnings.
