Other comments: We one our case with Acc after a long battle and he was diagnosed with Industrial Chemical poisoning. about 5 years before he died. This was a horrible slow death that no one should have to go through he was 56 when he died.We fought with ACC for 3 years endless reviews and consultations with the top specialists in NZ who all agreed it was Chemical poisoning we had a great lawyer Phillip Schmidt he was amazing. We have never been acknowledged by Nuplex and they knew exactly what was going on they kept Ross working even when he was sick and unsafe to be onsite. I would like to also do anything I can to help people and let them no what can happen to them if I can be of help in anyway please let me no. I am Ross;s sister and had power of attorney, I have medical records and photos that would shock the nation .
