Legal and Medical reported on 16th, May 2008 that a widow received a £218,000 payout for her husbands death after a seven year wait.
The women’s husband died of mesothelioma in 2001 after exposure at the Turner and Newell factory at which he worked. Claims against the company were frozen in 2001 because their US parent company Federal Mogul went into administration in the UK.Payments to victims started emerging last year when a trust was set up by the administrators, approved by the High Court.
An employers' liability insurance fund will pay compensation to those who worked for T&N after 1969. This fund is financed from insurers, Royal Sun Alliance and Lloyds, who wrote employers' liability insurance from T&N after 1969.
