Personal injury solicitors help widow claim for husband's illness

A widow, whose husband died from an asbestos related disease, is making a compensation claim for up to £150,000.

Edna Harrison, 78, of Brookfield, Preston contacted personal injury solicitors following her husband's death in September.

John Harrison, 77, died after many years of battling with mesothelioma, a lung disease caused by working with asbestos materials.

Shortly following his death, Mrs Harrison contacted personal injury solicitors and decided to make a compensation claim against the company which may have exposed him to asbestos.

The claim against Invensys International Holdings Ltd, previously called BTR Industries Limited, is between £100,000 and £150,000.

Mrs Harrison said, "He was a good husband and we were married for 39 years."
