£190,000 compensation for mesothelioma


The family of a pipe fitter who died after developing the asbestos-related disease mesothelioma has received £190,000 compensation. The man worked as a pipe fitter for an engineering company where he would crawl into small spaces that were lagged with asbestos to fit new heating pipes. As he moved through the unventilated area, he would disturb the asbestos lagging, causing it to float freely in the air around him.
