Maintenance workers: You have a right to seek compensation for a mesothelioma diagnosis.

A maintenance man who brought an asbestos lawsuit against his employers after developing mesothelioma has died, reported the Burnley Express on August 19, 2008.

The maintenance worker, who was 75, filed an asbestos lawsuit last year after he developed malignant mesothelioma, which he said developed over years working in maintenance for a hospital.

He worked for decades in boiler rooms where he would strip boiler doors and pipework of asbestos lagging, the Express said.

His wife said his work as a bricklayer may also have contributed to his mesothelioma diagnosis.

She recalls that he had told her he had to remove the lagging with his bare hands and dust would be released into the air.
