Is your mesothelioma diagnosis due to work as a plumber or heating engineer? Our asbestos lawyers can help.

The widow of a former heating engineer and handyman who died from asbestos-related lung cancer has been awarded more than $100,000 compensation, according to the Lytham St. Ann Express on August 6, 2008.

The Express reported that the man worked as a live-in maintenance man at a golf club.

He died, aged just 67, in February 2005 from mesothelioma.

His wife said he had been exposed to asbestos in the golf club's boiler rooms, and during installation of a new heating system in the 1980s.

However, the judge in their lawsuit instead ruled the disease was due to his work, between 1975 and 1987, as a plumber and heating engineer.

From shipfitters, pipefitters and demolition workers, to those toiling on railroads and in construction, Weitz & Luxenberg has many clients whose needless and entirely avoidable exposure to asbestos dusts ultimately led to them developing asbestos-related diseases.

Weitz & Luxenberg is a leading plaintiffs' law firm that has represented people affected by mesothelioma for over 20 years. Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
