£100,000 mesothelioma compensation

A former plumber who was diagnosed with mesothelioma has received £100,000 compensation. He was exposed to asbestos several times during his employment history, however, mainly whilst working for a steel company as a plumber. Any repair work that was done involved accessing pipe work through lagging. Most of the pipe work was lagged with a hard plaster type coating which could be removed from the pipe with a knife or hammer, creating significant amounts of dust.
