Did your job on a railway cause mesothelioma or another asbestos illness? Seek settlement compensation with our lawyers.

A woman has received tens of thousands of dollars in settlement money after her father, a railway laborer, died from mesothelioma after being exposed to asbestos at work, reported the Swindon Advertiser on September 3, 2008.

She filed an asbestos lawsuit against a railway company.

Her father died in 2005 from mesothelioma after working for the railway for 20 years. His jobs were numerous and included work as a fitter, turner and erector.

In that time, he was exposed to asbestos on boilers, pipes and cylinders on the old locomotive engines.

He then worked as a millwright, and in that job, was exposed to asbestos dust from brakes and clutches on the presses and also on tie rods.
