Chef wins mesothelioma damages

An Italian chef who worked with pizza ovens with asbestos seals in a restaurant has received a six figure sum in compensation from his former employers. He was diagnosed with mesothelioma. His job involved working with pizza ovens with asbestos seals and also in the storeroom where the ceiling contained asbestos. At the time he was not warned about the dangers asbestos could pose to his health. The claim was settled out of court.
