Brachers

Brachers has established a reputation for helping victims of industrial diseases such as mesothelioma to make their claims, on a 'no win-no fee' basis. Brachers is the only firm in Kent, Surrey or Sussex with an APIL (Association of Personal Injury Lawyers) Accredited Occupational Disease Specialist and an APIL Accredited Asbestos Disease Specialist solicitor. Government figures on national mesothelioma deaths show that the Medway area remains in the top 10 for the incidence of deaths from mesothelioma. The high incidence of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related disease can clearly be linked to the heavy use of asbestos at Chatham dockyards in ship building and repair, and exposure at other sites such as BP's Isle of Grain oil refinery and the asbestos manufacturing factory at British Uralite Higham, just on the edge of the Medway Towns, as well as many building trades.
