Brian Mason was diagnosed with
mesothelioma in August 2007. Brian had
worked for F J Baynes & Co and later as a maintenance engineer
for London Borough of Lambeth. During his time with both companies
he was exposed to substantial amounts of asbestos.
At the London Borough of Lambeth he
was required to work at the public baths in Lambeth Walk. Many
of the boilers were removed and replaced and Brian would have to go
in and out of the boiler houses whilst this work was being carried
out.
Brian died in April 2008 before the
claim was settled.
Dushal Mehta was able
to conclude the claim for his wife, Joan Mason, and achieved
damages of £162,500.00. This would go towards ensuring
that she is able to pay for the renovation work that Brian had
begun at the home but was not able to finish due to his
illness.

After the case Joan said:
"I would like to thank
you for the professional yet empathetic way in which my case has
been handled.
I have been kept
informed from the outset to what was happening with my claim
and the outcome was very satisfactory".
