OUR RESULTS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

A victim who worked for Republic Steel and later LTV Steel for over 40 years contracted mesothelioma because of his work as a welder with asbestos-containing pipe insulation. His widow and three children were awarded $1.6 million for the wrongful death lawsuit. Pittsburgh Corning Corp., which is partly owned by PPG Industries of Pittsburgh, appealed the decision. However, the verdict was confirmed by the appeals court, and the surviving family members were compensated for their losses.

A career electrician was diagnosed with mesothelioma nearly 40 years after his last exposure to asbestos fibers in Georgia-Pacific Ready-Mix joint compound at his job with Union Carbide Corporation. The lawsuit against Union Carbide Corporation ultimately awarded his wife and three sons $8.2 million after his death from the disease just a year later.

A man who was exposed to asbestos at work as a Bendix brake mechanic at Honeywell International, Inc. lived only 80 days after he was diagnosed with mesothelioma. A jury awarded his widow $10.6 million on July 29, 2021.

Due to exposure to asbestos fibers in her father’s clothing as a child, a mother contracted and died of peritoneal mesothelioma.

A mesothelioma victim and his wife were awarded $17 million in a 2015 lawsuit against Koch Industries Inc., which is owned by Georgia-Pacific LLC, for his work as a painting supervisor for Raytheon in Saudi Arabia in the late 1970’s.
