Why choose Rightside Legal for your asbestos claim?
Rightside lawyers have run and won asbestos claims in the Victorian and Western Australia Supreme Courts. We have decades of expertise and access to a huge data bank of information. Importantly, we do not charge you from your compensation sum. We take legal costs from the Defendant but not from you. You receive the totality of the compensation sum. Also, we are not a huge law firm with dozens of partners and hundreds of clients. Each one of our clients is critically important to us and receives an individual service as we are dedicated to getting the best possible result for all our clients.
I’ve been exposed to asbestos. Can I bring a case?
If you have an asbestos related illness (like mesothelioma, asbestosis or asbestos-caused lung cancer) then you probably have a good legal case for compensation. This is true even if you are elderly, or are not quite sure how or when you were exposed to asbestos, and if you have other health challenges. Rightside can give you free advice about your individual circumstances.
What can I claim?
Depending on your circumstances, you can be compensated both for the pain and suffering that the disease causes and the costs of medical treatment. If you are still working, you can claim lost income. You can also claim for any modifications to your home that might be necessary to cater for your illness. An experienced Rightside lawyer will give you detailed advice about all of the available categories of compensation.
I am unwell and need to focus on other things. Should I still speak to a lawyer?
The answer is almost always yes. Asbestos compensation can amount to many hundreds of thousands of dollars. It is really important that you talk to a lawyer as early as possible so that you are able to provide detailed instructions about possible asbestos exposures you may have had and the impact the illness is having on you. Your legal rights can disappear if you leave it too late. Rightside can give you precise and swift legal advice so you can make your own decisions about a claim.
What questions should I ask when I am choosing my lawyer?
There are good and bad lawyers out there. Satisfy yourself that the lawyer you are speaking to knows what they are doing. Ask questions. Some sensible questions would include: 1. How much experience do they have in asbestos litigation? 2. Have they taken asbestos claims to trial and won? 3. What will they do to minimise the demands of the claim on you? 4. How much will you be charged? How much of your compensation sum will they take?
No Win. No Fee.
Capped Pricing.
At Rightside we don’t have a string of expensive offices, dozens of partners or expensive marketing campaigns to fund. We limit the number of cases we take on, prepare your claim properly and fight hard for 100% of what your claim is worth.
We understand that injured or ill people are often anxious and uncertain about the whole legal process. We’ll do our best to eliminate the uncertainties. We work on a No Win No Fee basis – that means we fund the litigation, and you only pay when we succeed. We also cap our fees to give our clients greater certainty.
