Suffering from asbestosis, 66-year-old Mangabhai Patel is seen on a bed gasping for air at his relatives home in Ahmedabad, India where he is living. He worked for 37 years at the Ahmedabad Electric Company (AEC) and was exposed to asbestos and has been diagnosed with Asbestosis. He is constantly gasping for air due to his severely damaged lungs. He can only walk short distances before he is nearly incapacitated from the disease which causes difficulty in breathing. After 10 years of trying to get compensation, an out of court settlement of approximately $4000.00 dollars will be paid to him in compensation.
