A widow has won an award of $550,000 (Australian) on a claim against her husband's employers, a building materials firm. Unfortunately she died last year at the age of 64.
The NSW Dust Diseases Tribunal gave the award on Margaret Dawson's claim for compensation for having washed her husband's asbestos-contaminated clothes for years, causing her to develop mesothelioma.
Mrs Dawson is survived by her daughter and two grandchildren.
