Mesothelioma claim
In November 2005, we received a call from a 63-year-old widow whose husband had passed away from mesothelioma earlier that year.

She told us that her husband had worked for a local building firm during the 1970s and that he came into regular contact with asbestos. At the time he had no idea that he was working with such a hazardous material, and in the six years that he worked for the firm he used asbestos on an almost daily basis.

In 2004, he went to the doctor after complaining of breathing difficulties. He thought it was a severe chest infection but as one of his previous co-workers had recently passed away from asbestosis he thought that it was best to get it checked out.

Doctors took an X-ray of his chest, which showed that he was suffering from the form of lung cancer mesothelioma a cancer caused from breathing in asbestos particles. His wife and family were devastated at the news; he in particular was very concerned at how his wife would manage financially without him around.

In February 2005, he passed away from the illness. After several months of getting to terms with the loss of her husband so suddenly, his wife decided to get in touch with personal injury lawyers to claim mesothelioma compensation. Her daughter came across YouClaim's website and gave them a call on her mother's behalf; they said that she most definitely had a case and in a very short time there was a solicitor working on the claim.

The case was made against the man's former employer who was still operating in the local area under a different name. Initially, the company were not too keen to accept liability but as a previous case had been made against them and was successful, they finally looked at all the evidence and accepted responsibility.

With the help of her personal injury solicitor, the widow received an out-of-court settlement for £51,000.
