Mesothelioma Victim Wins Large Payout
Ken McDonald, 67, has been awarded £100,000 for his exposure to asbestos at the Vickers shipyard in Barrow in the 1960s. McDonald was diagnosed with mesothelioma last October. The Vickers shipyard is known for having manufactured the United Kingdom's first nuclear submarine, the HMS Dreadnought.
Tom Brennan, McDonald's lawyer, said that he was happy with the verdict: “I am pleased we have been able to win compensation for Mr McDonald during what is a difficult time for him and his family.”
