Pleural thickening provisional settlement

A former plasterer, who worked for a college, has received £45,000 after developing an asbestos related disease. The provisional settlement for pleural thickening will allow him to re-open the claim at any point, as he now stands at risk of developing mesothelioma. He was exposed to asbestos while working as a trained plasterer at the college. During this time, he helped a joiner insulate the college theatre roof, using asbestos, but was not given any protection, or warned of the dangers to his health.
