According to The Independent, a recent Supreme Court decision could have a huge impact for victims of asbestos exposure. The case that the Supreme Court was ruling on involved a delivery driver who died from mesothelioma, which was caused by exposure to asbestos in the Battersea Power Station.
The Supreme Court’s decision revolved around whether or not someone who was exposed to asbestos in a factory while working for another company should be able to pursue compensation from the factory. Since the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the victim in this case, it means that others in similar situations can now pursue compensation.
