(Medical-NewsWire.com, July 19, 2012 ) Cameron, Texas – The asbestos lawyers at Cappolino Dodd Krebs LLP are preparing to file a lawsuit against multiple companies that likely caused a Texas man’s mesothelioma by exposing him to asbestos.
Some of his prior employers that could have caused his mesothelioma include:
• Missouri Pacific. The man worked in a machine shop where the man said the asbestos “was like snow.”
• U.S. Navy. He served his country in the U.S. Navy, where he worked in a poorly ventilated area that contained asbestos insulation.
• Standard Oil. He worked as a sailor in another poorly ventilated, asbestos-laden environment.
• Alcoa Inc. The man lined large containers with strips of asbestos every day for 25 years.
In December 2011, the man was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma, an often-fatal lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure.
“This is such a tragedy because these companies all knew about how dangerous asbestos was," said Richard A. Dodd, managing partner at the firm. "We have an entire warehouse full of documents showing how much they knew and when. In the case of Alcoa, they've known for decades but just chose too little, too late," he said.
Dodd said he expects substantial settlements from the companies, but he looks forward to trying the case in court if necessary.
