" I am in receipt of your cheque for £5,414.34, which was received this morning. Of will course be happy to
sign any further documents that may be required of me. May I take this opportunity to thank you for all your
efforts on my behalf. I believe that without you perseverance, the result would have gone against me. I am

Pleural plaques claim from 2006. |
 |
|
 |
  |
 |
|
 |
| FREDERICK HUMPHREY V QUEEN ELIZABETH HOSPITALS NHS TRUST |
 |
|
Mr Humphrey developed pleural thickening as a result of his exposure to asbestos whilst working as
an electrician between 1978 to 1989 at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Gateshead. |
 |
|
Unfortunately Mr Humphrey had a complicated medical condition unrelated to his asbestosis
which was calculated at 10% of the total disability. |
 |
|
Proceedings were commenced and the hospital subsequently denied liability producing witness
statement from a former engineer confirming all asbestos had been removed. |
 |
|
Defendants denied causation on the basis that the claimant did not have an asbestos related
condition and that in any event the claim was statute barred and the claimant knew or ought
to have known that he had an asbestos related condition within three years before proceedings were commenced. |
 |
|
The case was listed for trial on the 01 December 2005 and shortly before trial the defendants
made two offers to settle, the second of which was accepted by the claimant. |
 |
| |
NB. In all cases the claimants received their damages in full and their legal costs recovered from the defendants. |
