We Represent Workers in Nova Scotia
Don’t settle for a lawyer who isn’t Canadian and doesn’t know the specific details about your province. If you do, you could end up being under-compensated since there are more than 30 asbestos trust funds to apply for, depending on your circumstances. Our firm has had clients that literally built the foundations of Nova Scotia, including shipbuilders, employees on military bases, and powerhouse construction workers. We’ve had clients who have worked in nearly every industry, and our experience can help you receive greater compensation.
Asbestos Affects Employees in Every Industry
Asbestos use was so widespread in building materials until the 1980s, and its devastating effects have a far reach across every industry in Nova Scotia. We’ve worked with several clients who worked at Nova Scotia Light and Power (NSLP) for several decades and they’ve helped us build our product registry for employees in Nova Scotia. We have direct insight from clients who helped build and maintain several power-generating plants and know the asbestos products that were used within them. This inside knowledge enables us to get compensation from the companies who supplied the asbestos products to NSLP. Our client base in Nova Scotia includes employees from:
- Nova Scotia Light and Power
- Halifax Shipyard
- Various refineries
- Maritime industries
- Shipbuilding firms
- Military docks
Every client we work with provides direct insight into the products and circumstances where asbestos exposure occurred in the workplace, enabling us to continue to build our database.
Why Apply for an Asbestos Trust Fund?
Even though the dangers of asbestos have been known for over 100 years, poor regulations and a lack of oversight have led to many employees in NS and all over Canada being exposed to airborne asbestos fibres, leading to serious health conditions. Large corporations took advantage and continued to use asbestos and hide the dangers of it in favour of profitability. Employees who’ve become sick with mesothelioma have two courses of action to take: filing a workers’ compensation claim or applying for asbestos trust funds, but they can’t do both. Workers comp is designed to protect the employer, and insurance companies fight to pay as little as possible in these cases. Asbestos funds include a larger compensation settlement because they’ve been set up by bankrupt companies to continue paying for these damages to workers. We’ll help you learn which trusts you can apply to for the largest settlement possible.
