Asbestos Victim Hopes For Six Figure Sum In Damages

March 23rd, 2007

A UK man affected by exposure to asbestos is hoping to win a six figure sum by way of compensation for his asbestos related health problems. Arthur Tiffin from Newcastle in the UK is fifty-three years old, and was diagnosed with mesothelioma � which is an asbestos related form of cancer � last year.

He has filed a lawsuit against his former employer after being exposed to asbestos when working as a heating engineer. This was in the 1970s. Mr. Tiffin is now taking many tablets each and every day to manage the pain that is caused by this deadly and incurable cancer. Although no final settlement has been agreed, his lawyers have secured an interim payout of forty thousand GBP for him.

Tiffin stated: "They've admitted liability and that is what we really wanted. Whatever amount of money I get in the end will be for my family because I can't look after them anymore. Before this happened I had a promising and prosperous career. All I want now is for my wife and family to get what I was going to earn and to be cared for."

He added: "I was not warned of the dangers of asbestos and had no idea that the dust I was inhaling could have such serious consequences for my future. I am certain this was when I was exposed to asbestos."
