Testimonials

Mr H, Southport, Lancashire.

I am writing to express my thanks to the way your company handled my mother’s clinical negligence claim….. We were kept informed of progress at every step of the way, the advice and information received, written and verbal, was explained to us in a way that enabled us to make informed decisions…….. We were impressed by the first interview when our chances of success or failure were discussed, no waffle just plain talk and facts………… We also wish to thank your staff for the friendly and efficient way they dealt with many queries – efficient and friendly staff are a cornerstone of any company and yours deserve praise. We felt that we were represented by a company of the highest integrity and honesty, that the interest of the client always came first, we would have no hesitation in recommending J M Skinner & Co.

Mr S, Blackburn

Without your help and work there would be no way an average working person could pursue such a claim… The money will be put to a valued use

Mr R, Mansfield, Nottingham

I am writing to thank you personally and J M Skinner in general for your professionalism, expertise and sensitivity shown in pursuing my claim...I will not hesitate to recommend you and J M Skinner to any of our relations and friends for any legal complications they encounter.

Mr B, Liverpool.

I was impressed by your patience, empathy and sensitivity…and felt that we had found someone who could help us through … a painful process. The (contact) was conducted in a way that totally negated any stress and was always carried out with the minimum of fuss. Things like this are vital when dealing with people who have little or not contact with the law. Your skills in the investigative process are to be commended given the bare amount of information… My mother feels she could not have found any better representation or been treated more sensitively and sends her heartfelt thanks… Cash compensation can never be a salve for the pain of bereavement but we cannot express enough how much your skill in achieving the result meant to (the family).

We provide specialist advice on asbestos-linked claims.  We act for sufferers and their families from all around the United Kingdom.  We have pursued claims arising from exposure suffered in a large number of industries for:-

• Shipbuilders/Repairers
• Merchant Seamen
• Building Industry Tradesmen and Operatives
• Chemical Workers
• Power Station Workers
• Factory Workers
• Boilermakers/Pipefitters



Compensation

We have also successfully recovered compensation for family members who have not received direct exposure in the workplace but who have received secondary exposure due to the dust carried in the working clothes of the husband/father. 

There are a number of diseases which can develop due to asbestos exposure.  These vary in their severity ranging from simple pleural plaques causing no physical disability or symptoms to mesothelioma, perhaps the most severe asbestos condition.  In the most severe cases sadly, we are often instructed on behalf of the widow or family members to bring a claim on behalf of the deceased worker following death.

For mesothelioma, lung cancer and asbestosis claims we are generally able to recover substantial compensation payments for:-

• General Damages (pain and suffering)
• Loss of Earnings (past and future)
• Loss of Pension Rights
• Care
• Services
• Out of Pocket Expenses incurred

Time Limits

Presentation of these claims is subject to strict compliance with the Limitation Act 1990.  This states that you must ensure that proceedings are issued at Court within 3 years of learning that you may suffer from an asbestos condition. (For those widows and families seeking to bring claims on behalf of deceased claimants, the Rules operate slightly differently but still involve compliance with strict time limits).

If you would like to receive free advice about bringing an asbestos claim, we would be pleased to hear from you by telephone, e-mail or submission of the Claim Enquiry Form below.
