Mesothelioma Patient in Minnesota sues 10 companies.

The St. Clair Record reported on January 23, 2008 that a Minnesota man filed an asbestos suit against 10 defendant corporations in Madison County Circuit Court Jan. 16, alleging his father died from mesothelioma.

According to the report, his father was diagnosed with mesothelioma on Jan. 1, 2004, and died on Dec. 2, 2004.

The plaintiff claims that his father was exposed to the asbestos that caused his mesothelioma at work, where he did automotive repairs. In doing so, he claims his father inhaled and ingested or absorbed asbestos fibers.

The plaintiff also claims the defendants knew or should have known that the asbestos fibers contained in their products had a toxic, poisonous and highly deleterious effect upon the health of people.

He also alleges that the defendants included asbestos in their products even when adequate substitutes were available and failed to provide any or adequate instructions concerning the safe methods of working with and around asbestos.

Sadly, such cases of entirely avoidable exposure to asbestos are quite common. Since 1986, our lawyers have dedicated themselves to helping those with mesothelioma and their families seek compensation for their illness.
