Settlement agreed for a labourer suffering from asbestosis

A man with short, light hair and glasses stands against a light-colored background. He is wearing a striped, dark suit with a light yellow tie and a light-colored shirt, looking directly at the camera with a neutral expression.

A construction worker wearing a yellow safety vest holds a mallet and secures wooden formwork into the ground on a gravelly construction site. The worker's face is not visible, focused on their legs and tools. Construction materials are in the background.
Our personal injury team were able to agree a settlement for Mark who had developed mild pleural thickening and mild asbestosis in the global sum of £30,000. Mark was very grateful for the efforts Fieldfisher went to to investigate his claim. He had received negative advice on his condition previously from a senior consultant chest physician who diagnosed pleural plaques and stated Mark had no injury for which he could make a claim.

We arranged for a CT scan to be performed on Mark and sought a second opinion from a leading chest physician in London who reviewed the scan, undertook lung function tests and diagnosed pleural thickening and mild asbestosis. This enabled the claim to be settled by the Mark's previous employers liability insurers.
