Florida Couple Files Asbestos Lawsuit
Florida Couple Files Asbestos Lawsuit
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009
A couple living in Florida filed an asbestos lawsuit against 78 defendant corporations in response to the husband’s development of lung cancer. Ernest and Shirley Beese claim that Ernest developed lung cancer after being exposed to asbestos at work.
Asbestos Exposure in the Workplace
Ernest claims he was exposed to asbestos during his employment with various companies from 1950 to 1994. He allegedly worked from 1950 to 1955 as a carpenter at several commercial and residential construction sites and from 1956 to 1994 as a tile worker for Abbot Laboratories, Great Lakes Naval Training, Kentiel Floors, O’Hare Airport, Sheriwn-Williams, Johnson and Johnson and several Chicago hospitals.
The couple claims that Ernest was exposed to asbestos during his employment with the defendant corporations listed above. They are also claiming that his exposure was foreseeable and should have been prevented by his employers.
Couple Seeks Compensation for Financial Loss
Earnest and Shirley claim that since his diagnosis, Ernest has been too weak to pursue his normal course of employment, which has resulted in a loss of income. They are also claiming that they have spent a significant amount of money on hospital bills and medical treatments. The couple is suing the defendant corporations for money to cover such financial losses, as well as lost future income and pain and suffering caused by the illness.
The couple seeks $150,000 for economic damages, $100,000 in punitive and exemplary damages and $150,000 in compensatory damages. They are also seeking punitive damages to punish Ferris Kimball Company, LLC, Sprinkmann Sons Corporation, Sprinkmann Insulation, Inc., and Young Insulation Group of St. Louis for wrongfully exposing the Ernest to asbestos in an effort to prevent future negligence.

GE to Pay $115M in Asbestos Lawsuits
GE to Pay $115M in Asbestos Lawsuits
GE to Pay $115M in Asbestos Lawsuits
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009
General Electric Co. said that it will have to spend an additional $115 million to pay for asbestos lawsuits after an unsuccessful decade-long battle in which it tried to get its insurers to foot part of the bill.
The New York State Court of Appeals upheld the previous ruling by a lower court which prevents GE from demanding secondary insurance to cover claims brought against it by individuals who have been sickened as a result of asbestos-insulated turbines.
GE has already paid more than $500 million in its settlements of asbestos cases. GE said it still has 509,000 asbestos claims pending against it through 2006.
The Lawsuit
In the lawsuit, GE was trying to make the case that its asbestos claims should be treated as one incident.
This was an attempt to take advantage of the extra coverage awarded to GE by its insurance companies for claims over $5 million. After the first $5 million, GE would be able to access more than $2 billion in coverage.
Few cases were over $5 million mark individually, but if the cases were considered one occurrence, the amount would exceed $5 million by a vast margin, allowing it to tap into the extra insurance.
But the court ruled that each individual case was its own occurrence.
“GE was attempting to change a long-standing New York law on how the number of occurrences is decided in this context,” said Michael Balch an attorney for one of GE’s insurance companies.
He said GE was trying to get the court to consider as a single occurrence “400,000 plus cases arising at thousands of sites across the country dating back 70 to 80 years.”

Companies Settle Secondhand Asbestos Lawsuit
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009
A Mississippi woman who developed cancer after years of washing clothes covered with asbestos dust has settled a lawsuit against four companies that she claims caused her sickness.
Patsy Jean Bodkin washed her father’s and brother’s asbestos dust-covered work clothes for years. She claims the dust ultimately caused her mesothelioma – a cancer with only one known cause: asbestos exposure.
Bodkin is now confined to a bed in a nursing home. She relies on morphine and oxygen.
Secondhand asbestos exposure suits are uncommon, according to attorneys.
“It’s more common to see asbestos claims from the person who works hands-on with it at work,” said David Marshall, one of the defendants’ attorneys.
The settlement terms are confidential, said G. Patterson Keahey, Bodkin’s attorney.
Bodkin, now 60, sought care when she began feeling sick and having trouble breathing in 2003. According to Keahey, doctors found a buildup of fluid in her lungs and diagnosed her with malignant pleural mesothelioma.
Bodkin filed the suit last year against four companies that manufactured roofing, siding, insulation products, and construction materials her brother and father worked with.
The suit alleges that the four companies (Georgia-Pacific Corp., Kelly-Moore Paint Co., Inc. Certainteed Corp., and Bondex International Inc.) failed to warn consumers about the dangers associated with asbestos exposure despite knowledge of the potential harm since the 1960’s.
“We believe if people have injuries or illnesses that were caused by asbestos-containing products that are our products, those people should be compensated,” said James Malone, spokesman for Georgia-Pacific.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or killed due to asbestos exposure, you may be eligible to recover compensation for your losses. Please contact us today for a FREE consultation with a sympathetic and experienced

Federal Judge Upholds WTC Workers? Suit

Federal Judge Upholds WTC Workers? Suit
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009
A federal judge refused to dismiss the claims of thousands of Ground Zero emergency workers who are suing New York City and over 100 private contractors after being sickened by asbestos dust and other hazardous on-site materials.
Thousands of workers, including emergency responders, firefighters, and cleanup crew members seek to recover damages for the illnesses they claim to have acquired as a result of inhaling asbestos dust and exposure to other hazardous substances. They say the companies that hired them failed to provide them with proper masks, and other safety equipment.
The workers also say the city and contractors were negligent in failing to monitor the air and take other measures to make sure the Ground Zero clean-up crews that worked there in the months following the attack were safe.
Judge Alvin K. Hellesrstein said the city, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, and the contractors were partially liable, with the exact scope of liability varying depending on exactly what they did, when, and where.
Andrew J. Carboy, who represents 210 plaintiffs, mostly firefighters, said the judge’s decision was “a first step forward in the legal system for these other victims of 9-11.”
Carboy also said the number of people making claims is going up, and includes as many as 8,000 people so far.
The Judge’s Opinion
“If even a minority of the plaintiffs suffered serious injuries to their respiratory tracts arising from the acrid air of September 11, their claims deserve to be heard when a recovery could make a difference in their lives,” the judge said.
He continued to say that the defendants deserve swift resolution. “The scar to the public interest needs to be cleansed, speedily, in good time,” Hellerstein said.
The judge cited a September study that said about 70 percent of 10,000 tested Ground Zero workers reported substantially increased health problems since 9/11.
“The workers at the site were presented with a dangerous environment, below and surrounding their work activities, threatening their health and safety,” Hellerstein said.
