After a long legal battle, Daphne Reay has finally fulfilled her husband’s dying wish, winning a six-figure settlement in her asbestos-exposure lawsuit. Keith Reay, a plumber and heating engineer in the UK, died in 2002 as a result of asbestos-induced mesothelioma.
Mrs. Reay’s quest for justice was complicated by the fact that her husband’s former employer had gone out of business in 1993, long before he was diagnosed with mesothelioma. The company’s insurer, AXA, refused to pay out her claim, citing a lack of documentation. It was not until just before her case actually went to trial that AXA managed to find a cover note from 1984 and agreed to the six-digit settlement.
