MESOTHELIOMA CLAIM

Family of woman who died of mesothelioma files legal claim for financial compensation

The relatives of a woman who died of mesothelioma cancer have filed a compensation claim against the corporation they blame for her death, reported the Sunderland Echo on June 23, 2008.

The family began the asbestos lawsuit in the United Kingdom after her death in 2005.

According to the article, the 67-year-old woman was an office worker. It is alleged that all the pipework running from the machinery in the laundry room was lagged with asbestos, and court papers allege that it was here that the woman suffered asbestos exposure.

Sadly, this situation was easily preventable had her employers provided a safe working environment. The incident is all too familiar to the mesothelioma attorneys in the Weitz & Luxenberg Asbestos Litigation unit headquartered in New York.
