There are different statutory and common law entitlements in every state of Australia. Depending on where you were exposed, you may have entitlements to common law damages, pensions and/or statutory benefits.

You may be legally entitled to claim compensation if you are suffering from:
• asbestosis
• lung cancer
• asbestos related pleural disease
• pleural mesothelioma
• peritoneal mesothelioma
• pericardial mesothelioma, or
• laryngeal cancer.
