On May 12, 2009, a Wisconsin appeals court ruled that the widow of a man who died from mesothelioma in 2004 can pursue a wrongful death lawsuit against the company he worked for that produced brake parts containing asbestos.
Our wrongful death lawyers believe that companies and employers should make sure that working conditions do not cause personal injury or fatal accidents for their employees.
No one wants to go in for work and come out needing medical treatment for their day’s efforts.
In the worst cases, harmful working conditions are the direct cause of an employee’s wrongful death. In this case, asbestos caused mesothelioma which, in turn, led to the wrongful death of a worker.
A wrongful death lawsuit filed by Vicki Tatera on behalf her late husband’s estate was reinstated by District 1 Court of Appeals. Tatera’s wrongful death lawsuit claims her husband developed cancer after working at a machine shop where he ground brake linings into specific shapes to be installed in automobiles.
FMC Corporations, the supplier of the linings, was negligent in warning that working with the linings can exposure a person to asbestos, which could be dangerous and cause personal injury. The new ruling sends the wrongful death lawsuit to trial even though the company has denied the allegations of negligence leading to personal injury.
Being wrongful death lawyers, we believe that when hazardous working conditions lead to a personal injury and then the wrongful death of an employee, companies should be held liable for fault if they did not properly inform their workers of the dangers that come with the job.
