Compensation of over £150,000 for mesothelioma

A woman who worked in a government office with asbestos lined doors has secured compensation of over £150,000 after she was diagnosed with mesothelioma. She remembers her office being affected by dust from heavy doors lined with sheets of asbestos on both sides for fire-proofing. Her desk was near to the door which would bang into the wall and bang shut, causing dust to be disturbed from the asbestos sheets.
