Employed vs unemployed: Dushal's article featured in PI Focus

Dushal Mehta, solicitor in our asbestos team, has recently had an article published in PI Focus, a magazine published by the Association of Personal Injury Lawyers (APIL).

The article focuses on Dushal's case which he pursued on behalf of his client, whose husband had died from mesothelioma in 2007.

Our client's husband, had worked as a  self employed (labour only) contractor for many years, and was exposed to asbestos during this period.

The argument centred on whether he, as a  labour only sub-contractor, was covered under the employer's liability insurance policy.

Our argument that he was covered was successful and Dushal secured compensation for our client as a result.
