Following the death of her father, Terance Thripp, Michelle Osbourne contacted RWK Goodman’s specialist asbestos disease team to investigate a compensation claim after a post-mortem found that he had suffered with asbestosis and diffuse pleural thickening. Michelle was represented by Laura Wilkinson, a Senior Associate in the team.
Our specialist asbestos disease team secured a six-figure sum for a man who sadly contracted mesothelioma through his employments with Cape Universal Building Products Limited/Cape Universal Claddings Limited (“Cape”) and Sun Printers Limited during the 1970s and 1980s.
Our specialist asbestos disease team secured a five-figure sum for the family of a woman who sadly died from mesothelioma having been exposed to asbestos whilst working as a teacher during the 1970s and 1980s.
