Steven Dickens

Personal Injury / Industrial Disease

Steven has been acting for victims of asbestos exposure since 2006.  He is regularly instructed by sufferers in the Greater Manchester area, but also works for individuals across the country.

Steven acts exclusively for asbestos sufferers. He has specialist in-depth knowledge of those firms in the industrial north of England who caused employees to be exposed to asbestos.  This knowledge has helped Steven to successfully conclude asbestos related claims for many sufferers over the last two decades.

Steven primarily represents people who have been exposed to asbestos in the workplace.  As a result of this exposure many individuals develop asbestos related lung conditions such as diffuse pleural thickening, asbestosis, asbestos related lung cancer or mesothelioma.  Steven recovers compensation for individuals and their relatives as a result of exposure to asbestos in a variety of industries.

Since its inception in 2007  Steven has successfully pursued claims for compensation against the T&N Asbestos Trust, the Trust set up to compensate former employees of the Turner & Newall group of companies. He sits on the Trustee Advisory Committee which represents the best interests of Trust claimants generally.

Steven has successfully pursued compensation for those who have been exposed to asbestos in less traditional occupations such as publicans, shop workers, and teachers who were exposed to asbestos at work.  He has also acted for asbestos sufferers who contracted asbestos related illnesses such as mesothelioma after coming into contact with asbestos from family members who brought dust home on contaminated work clothes.

Steven represents victims with life changing diseases.  He acts quickly in matters where victims have short life expectancies.  These claims, by their very nature, are complex and are of significant value.
