Rodney
Nelson-Jones negotiated a settlement of £525,000
for Simon who died from pleural
mesothelioma.
Around 1955 Simon was employed for a year by
Versil Ltd. as a lagger's mate on the AWRE site at
Aldermaston. He mixed and swept up vast quantities of
asbestos. Over 50 years later, he contracted pleural mesothelioma from which he
died.
In the meantime, Simon had become a
successful company director who intended to work well into his
70s. Rodney Nelson-Jones took over his widow's claim from the
solicitor conducting it, who had herself died, and pursued Court
action on her behalf.
The case was settled for £525,000 after
negotiations during a round table meeting attended by the lawyers
on both sides and Versil's insurers.
