- Diagnosis Confirmation – Once we have a confirmed diagnosis of mesothelioma via a pathology report, we can begin the claims process.
- Claims Submission – We submit your claim to the relevant asbestos trusts. You can expect different timelines for review, with some trusts taking three months and others up to a year.
- Compensation – Upon acceptance of your claim, we’ll send you the funds as soon as they’re received.
Understanding the Risks
While Alberta wasn’t a major asbestos mining community, many workers in demolition and construction are still at risk of exposure, even as asbestos began being phased out in the 1980s. Common materials containing asbestos include:
- Ceiling tiles
- Drywall mud
- Exterior stucco siding
- Furnace or boiler duct tape and wrap
- Light fixtures
- Mechanical insulation
- Pipe insulation
- Plaster
- Roofing materials
- Vermiculite attic or block insulation
- Vinyl asbestos floor tiles
- Vinyl sheet flooring
