James' Story - asbestos related mesothelioma
Thank you very much for all your hard work, especially as the outcome is better than expected. Can't thank you enough.
Shana, WiltshireJames worked for British Rail as an engineer, lagging steam engines with asbestos. As such he came into contact with asbestos on a daily basis. He was also responsible for the maintenance of the engines, and as steam engines were phased out he stripped the engines, which were lagged with asbestos. There was no extraction unit, and workers were not given any protective clothing. As such, James was regularly exposed to high levels of asbestos. James sadly died in 2004 after developing mesothelioma, an asbestos related cancer.
Specialist industrial disease solicitor Matthew Garson is handling James' family's claim.
