Record UK payout in mesothelioma case

by Murdo Maguire — last modified 13-09-2006 05:17

A carpenter suffering from mesothelioma, the asbestos-related disease, has won agreed damages of £400,000 from his former employer.

Field Fisher Waterhouse, the law firm acting for Amargeet Singh Dahele, said it believed this was one of the highest-ever settlements in such a case.

Mr Dahele claimed to be regularly exposed to asbestos dust and fibres while working on three tower blocks in Stratford, east London.

His former employer admitted liability and agreed to pay towards the cost of chemotherapy treatment not available on the National Health Service, as well as nursing care and equipment.
