Letter of claim—a living mesothelioma claimant who was exposed to asbestos during their employment

Precedents

This Precedent is a letter of claim on behalf of a living claimant who was exposed to asbestos during their employment with the defendant and has now been diagnosed as suffering from mesothelioma. The statutory breaches are broken down according to the relevant period of exposure to asbestos. Due to the short life expectancy for those sufferers of mesothelioma the letter of claim highlights to the defendant the urgency of the matter.
