Lynette was negligently exposed to asbestos on her husbands
work clothes which she inhaled during laundering and developed
mesothelioma. This was a public liability or 'shakedown'
case - our personal injury
team was asked to take over the claim from other
solicitors as there were complex issues related to public liability
insurance and the interpretation of when insurance coverage would
be activated. This necessitated careful understanding of the
biological development of mesothelioma in order to determine what
would constitute injury for the purpose of identifying the correct
insurer to proceed against.
Unusually, Lynette survived 6 years
from the onset of her symptoms, and we were able to obtain
damages of £210,000 for Lynette's surviving husband and family.
