In the last 25 years, we have represented over 2,500 Canadian claimants.
Getting the right advice about the compensation that is available is vital.
There are nearly 600 Canadians diagnosed with mesothelioma every year. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you need to get expert legal advice about your rights.
We specialise in making claims for mesothelioma victims against US Asbestos Trust Funds that have over $30 billion in funding available. We have represented more Canadians - over 2,500 clients - than any other law firm in claiming from the Asbestos Trusts. With offices in Toronto, the UK and Australia, we are internationally recognised as a leader in the field of mesothelioma compensation claims.
Don't trust your claim to a firm that does not specialise in this area. Mesothelioma claims are all we do. We are specialists in the area of mesothelioma compensation - and just like a medical specialist - you want to get advice from people who do these claims all day, every day.
The claims are against US Asbestos Trusts, and although Canadian residents can apply to the Trusts, they are governed by the Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Laws. Our team of lawyers includes US qualified and registered lawyers who can advise you on the laws of the USA and how to maximise the compensation that is available to you. We have an in-depth knowledge of the Trusts and what is takes to get your claim approved. We also have access to additional claims against companies that are not in bankruptcy that supplied asbestos throughout Canada.
There is no financial risk in investigating your entitlements as we work on a "no win no fee" basis - meaning that you pay nothing if the claims do not succeed. Our low cost legal fees for successful claims means that our clients receive substantially more compensation in their hands.
If you or a family member have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Contact us today for free advice on your rights.

When determining the value of any potential claim, it is important to note that every claim is different. We cannot give you an accurate indication of the compensation that may be available to you from the Trusts and other defendants until we have fully reviewed your work history and exposure history, including the sites where you worked, the duties you performed, and the products you worked with (or around). The amount paid for a mesothelioma claim varies from Trust to Trust – from as little as $10,000-$15,000 for the smaller Trusts to in excess of $100,000 from the larger Trusts. We make claims with all eligible Trusts and defendants in order to
maximise the total compensation you are able to recover on your claim.
Some of the results we have obtained for our clients are listed here, with the figures quoted all in USD$ and represent the actual payments made to our clients:
