LUNG CANCER
BEVAN FOR JUSTICEYou may be entitled to compensation for Lung Cancer even if you’ve smoked
As you may be aware, studies have linked lung cancer with smoking. Lung cancer can also be caused by exposure to asbestos. When both of these factors are present - smoking and asbestos exposure - an individual is 50 to 80 times more likely to develop lung cancer compared to the general population. This is known as the "synergistic effect" of smoking and exposure to asbestos.
- While
the leading cause of lung cancer is smoking, asbestos exposure is
also a proven cause of lung cancer, as well as other cancers.
- People
exposed to asbestos are 3 to 5 times more likely to develop lung
cancer compared to people not exposed to asbestos.
- People
who smoke are 6 to 10 times more likely to develop lung cancer
compared to non-smokers.
- If
you smoked AND were exposed to asbestos, an individual is
50
to 80 times
more likely to develop lung cancer compared to the general
population.
- You
may have been unknowingly exposed to asbestos even if you were a
non-industrial worker and as a result, may be entitled to
compensation.
