The widow of a former carpenter has filed suit against Chevron USA, claiming the oil company negligently and maliciously exposed her late husband to asbestos, reported the Southeast Texas Record on April 21, 2008.

She filed her suit on behalf of her husband on April 16 in Southeast Texas.

According to the artichel, the man worked for Gulf at its Port Arthur facility. During his career as a carpenter, he used and was exposed to toxic materials including asbestos dust and fibers.

As a result of such exposure, the suit says, he developed an asbestos-related disease from which he died.

Sadly, this situation is all too familiar to the attorneys in the Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. Asbestos Litigation unit.
