Case Study

£250,000 compensation for asbestos related disease (mesothelioma – secondary exposure)

HHD Solicitor:  Caroline Dunlop, Principal Partner specialising in personal injury claims

Settlement:  £250,000

What happened:

Our client’s father worked in the shipyard and was exposed to asbestos dust in the course of his employment. Many years later our client went on to develop an asbestos related disease known as mesothelioma as a result of secondary exposure to asbestos which was present on his father’s work clothes.

How HHD Solicitors helped:

We obtained specialist medical evidence of our client’s medical condition and were able to negotiate a settlement with the other side without the need for a court hearing.

The outcome:

We achieved a settlement of £250,000, providing our client with financial compensation and recognition of the impact his condition has had on his life.
