Our lawyers recently recovered compensation on behalf of a bar person harmed by passive smoking.
A bar worker in a village social club, the claimant alleged that exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) in her workplace exacerbated her asthma.
Experts were appointed for both the claimant and the defendant, to compile a report about the level of smoke she was exposed to.
There was no significant difference in the opinions of the experts and the conclusions of the report resulted in the defendant admitting liability.
Acting for the claimant, our specialist personal injury lawyers accepted an offer of £1,500 compensation for the personal injury she suffered.
If you or a member of your family has suffered a personal injury or illness as the result of an accident or your working environment, you may be entitled to claim compensation.
