Laws to speed up the compensation process for those suffering asbestos conditions (such as mesothelioma) in the United Kingdom won’t come into force until 2013.
Lawyers for those seeking such compensation are furious that their clients may miss out on compensation as a result of the delay.
In Australia, various state laws allow persons suffering asbestos conditions to pursue compensation quickly. Conditions like mesothelioma and severe asbestosis can often deteriorate rapidly and such laws often allow sufferers peace of mind in a relatively short period of time.
