An Indiana jury awarded a settlement to the family of a woman whose wrongful death occurred as a result of breathing in asbestos while doing a simple chore.
Juanita Rodarmel contracted mesothelioma, a type of lung cancer, after being exposed to asbestos while doing the laundry of her first husband. Rodarmel’s first husband worked at the old Union Asbestos & Rubber Company during the 1950s.
Our San Diego law firm’s personal injury lawyers know the hazards of asbestos can grow to become more serious products liability claims.
Asbestos exposure causes a specific type of lung cancer that affects the lining of the lungs. Another condition called asbestosis can be harmful a person with too much exposure to asbestos. Both of these can cause breathing difficulties, and mesothelioma can lead to wrongful death.
But be warned, too: there are other effects from asbestos that make exposure very dangerous to your health.
Attorneys for Rodarmel’s family in the Indiana asbestos lawsuit argued the two companies conspired with other firms including Owens-Illinois and Owens Corning to suppress information about the hazards of asbestos in the asbestos lawsuit. The settlement for the family was for more than $2 million.
The use of asbestos was banned for a reason, and our products liability attorneys believe it is unfortunate that a bad idea in the past has led to the asbestos related personal injuries of the present. If you are experiencing the pain and suffering of an asbestos related illness and need help paying your medical bills, perhaps you should have a qualified litigator on your side.
