Family of woman who died of mesothelioma files claim for 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 Suderland Echo on June 23, 2008.

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

According to the article, the 67-year-old woman ws an office worker.

It is believed all the pipework running from the machinery in the laundry during the 1970s was lagged with asbestos, and court papers allege that it was here that the woman was exposed to the deadly asbestos carcinogen.

Sadly, this situation, where exposure to asbestos was easily preventable, is all too familiar to the mesothelioma attorneys in the Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. Asbestos Litigation unit here in the United States.
