Mr Parsons was exposed to asbestos
between about 1950 and about 1978. As a result of this exposure he
developed lung cancer from which he died
on 23 June 2004, without having made any statement.
Mr Parsons was exposed when he worked for Anchor Insulations
Company Limited, a well known lagging firm, between about 1950 and
1958. He was exposed for a much shorter period with Kitsons,
another well known lagging firm. He was then employed by Ford Motor
Company Limited.

Mr Parsons’ family had kept Apprenticeship records proving that
Mr Parsons started working for Anchor Insulations as a lagger in
October 1950. They also found a 1964 letter from Ford Motor Company
Limited which confirmed that he worked there as a lagger, and that
he had been working as a lagger previously. Another letter in the
medical records confirmed that even as late as 1976 Mr Parsons was
being exposed to asbestos whilst working at Fords as a lagger.
Using these documents Andrew Morgan
was able to prove that Mr Parsons had been exposed to asbestos for
more than 25 years. As a result, the Defendants accepted that the
asbestos exposure caused the lung cancer even though Mr Parsons had
been a smoker. Mrs Parsons accepted a settlement offer of
£90,000.
