Asbestosis is a very specific condition that refers to fibrosis of the lungs caused from breathing in asbestos fibres. It is usually found in individuals who have had significant exposure to asbestos, over several years. The effects normally appear 20 years or more after exposure. It can cause breathlessness and may become more severe over time.

A Respiratory Physician will examine your client and assess chest x-rays, scans and medical records to diagnose whether the client has contracted Asbestosis as the result of hazardous exposure to Asbestos during employment, and what effect this will have on life expectancy.
