According to Western Telegraph, Jenny Hissey finally received a settlement for the death of her husband, Ted Hissey. Three years after she filed a mesothelioma lawsuit, the case was settled out of court. Jenny Hissey received an undisclosed sum from her husband's former employer, the Department for Communities and Local Government.
Ted Hissey died of mesothelioma in 2007. He was exposed to asbestos while working at the Department for Communities and Local Government, at Royal Air Force base Brawdy in the southwestern part of Wales from 1990 to 1993.
Jenny Hissey was shocked when her husband began suffering mesothelioma symptoms, such as shortness of breath, because he had always lived an active lifestyle. She said, "My husband was always a hard worker and even after his retirement he would find hobbies to keep himself busy. When he was diagnosed with mesothelioma he found it incredibly difficult to be bed bound."
The company admitted they did not take proper care of the health and safety for their employees.Therefore, the case ended with an out-of-court settlement.
