A jury awarded a woman $4.2 million for the death of her husband who died after developing mesothelioma from asbestos exposure in 1956. The mesothelioma sufferer had been an electrician for just 33 days at a shipyard and was heavily exposed to Kaylo, an asbestos covering once used to insulate steam pipes. The mesothelioma attorney noted that the company had known about the dangers of their asbestos-ridden products as far back as 1944. The company is appealing the asbestos lawsuit award.
All forms of asbestos have been shown to cause cancer. If exposed, those individuals risk asbestos-illnesses, including a rare, inoperable cancer called mesothelioma.
