Asbestos Illnesses in Wearside

Doxford Yard
 

Wearside has a proud history of building some of the most famous ships in the world, ships which have testified to the skill and dedication of the region's workforce.  If you worked on the Wear between 1945 and 1975 and helped build great ships such as this, you will know what it took to build them: hard work, dedication, skill.....and asbestos.

From laggers spraying bulkheads and lagging pipes to joiners cutting sheets there were many ways in which you could have had exposure to asbestos.  The dangers of asbestos were well known but many employers did too little too late to protect the workforce.

 

If you worked on the Wear between 1945 and 1975 and have been diagnosed with an asbestos related disease within the last 3 years you may have a good claim for compensation.
