The Incident

Ron spent years working in the transport industry, including performing maintenance work on various railway boxes across NSW. While repairing and maintaining older railway equipment, linings and materials that had deteriorated over time, he was exposed to asbestos dust and fibre.

Serious Injury and Medical Treatment

Ron was subsequently diagnosed with advanced lung cancer.

The Long Road to Recovery

His diagnosis had a significant and lasting impact on his health, independence and daily life.

Why Specialist Legal Advice Was Required

The case required establishing a link between Ron’s cancer and his asbestos exposure during his years of work in and around older railway boxes.

Legal Support and Advocacy

We were able to prove that Ron had sufficient asbestos exposure to link his cancer to that exposure.
