How we manage claims
Our dust diseases lawyers typically manage multi-party actions, with cross claims being made against manufacturers/suppliers of equipment, principal contractors controlling works and manufactures/suppliers of asbestos products.
In each case, we craft workable and effective strategies to manage the aspects of the particular situation, using a combination of our experience, efficient file management techniques, correct identification of contribution avenues and the appropriate tactics to produce the best results.
We also draw on our intimate knowledge of the procedures and standards relating to dust diseases claims in WA, as well as our understanding and considerable experience of typical settings in which asbestos exposures have occurred. We are supported by our extensive database, which we have developed to record a range of information around relevant products, manufacturers and suppliers, employers and contractors, insurers and relevant precedents and outcomes in this area.
