The family of a labourer who died from the effects of asbestos has been awarded £475,000 in compensation.
Dave Pearson, 66, died from lung cancer in 2017, after contracting the disease whilst working for more than 40 years at the Methil Fabrication Plant in Fife.
Mr Pearson, from St Andrews, worked in machine and building maintenance from the 1970s until he was forced to give up work. He was exposed to asbestos-filled dust while maintaining the brakes and clutches in cranes and vehicles throughout the plant.
