Law firms are taking advantage of asbestos victims in the North East, according to union officials.Northern TUC Regional Secretary Kevin Rowan said that just before the General Election the Labour government announced a scheme to make a payment of £5,000 to sufferers of pleural plaques who had brought, but not resolved a legal claim before the House of Lords ended the right to compensation in October 2007.
As a result, some “claims farmers” and firms of solicitors are offering to process claims for pleural plaques under the Government’s scheme, but are intending to take a slice of the £5,000 payment for their own gain.
Now the Northern TUC Asbestos Support & Campaign Group is calling for all pleural plaques sufferers not to be tempted by these profiteering companies.
