After a three-week trial, the jury agreed, granting him a $2-million verdict last month.

The postman asserted that he was exposed to asbestos while using certain products during his work duties.

The 69-year-old was awarded $1.5 million in damages, and his wife was granted $500,000 for loss of consortium, The State Journal-Register reported.
