Rodney Nelson-Jones has obtained one
of the highest compensation awards in a mesothelioma case. Josh’s
widow sadly lost her husband in June 2008 at the age of just 47
years old to mesothelioma. He was
diagnosed with the asbestos related tumour after being exposed as
an engineer in the late 1980’s. The claim was made against his
former employers.
The award was so high as
Josh was due to start a new business venture shortly before his
diagnosis, a venture which had high prospects of being very
successful. We therefore enlisted the aid of a leading forensic
accountant to carry out a complex calculation of the loss of profit
from the new business over the next 20 years. After disputing the
claim his former employers settled for £1.4million compensation, an
award later approved by the Senior Master of the High Court in
March 2009.
