Asbestos-related diseases are asbestosis, mesothelioma, bronchopulmonary cancer, pleural lesions.

 

 

Asbestos victims can go to court (social security court) to have the inexcusable fault of their employer (s) recognized or to contest a refusal to take charge of their illness related to the asbestos by the CPAM. They can also apply to the incapacity litigation court if they contest the level of invalidity granted to them.

 

Asbestos victims can also claim compensation from the Asbestos Victims Compensation Fund (FIVA) (or their beneficiaries when the death is related to asbestos). FIVA offers compensation by reference to a scale adopted by its board of directors.
