We dealt with Mrs Ghoorah’s case. Her husband died from mesothelioma as a result of being exposed to asbestos at various hospitals throughout Essex including St Margaret’s, Runwell, Harold Wood and Little Highwood. Mr Ghoorah worked as a trainee nurse and healthcare support worker for ten years. 

Sadly Mr Ghoorah was only 45 years old when he died. The Judge awarded a substantial sum to  ensure that Mrs Ghoorah and her two young children have enough money to take care of their financial needs for the rest of their lives. 

Harminder Bains said: “This was a sad case as Mr Ghoorah was a medical professional who spent his life taking care of the sick. Yet his employers seemingly disregarded his health and safety. I admire Mrs Ghoorah, who continues to work as a nurse. At the trial, the Judge said he was impressed by how she had shown great poise by continuing with her career and managing to look after her two young children”. 

In addition to awarding, compensation to include loss of earnings, cost of childcare, the Judge recognised the pain and suffering which Mr Ghoorah endured and awarded a substantial sum for pain and suffering.
