Robert E. Snowden, recently sued several companies for his asbestos related disease which he claims was the result of the asbestos he was exposed to while working as an engineer.

Snowden is now filing another suit for a “different asbestos related” injury due to smoking cigarettes.

Asbestos Allegations

Snowden is suing A.O. Smith Corp. and 68 other major corporations for distributing and manufacturing products, which contain asbestos, in Jefferson County.

According to Snowden’s attorney, Brian Belvins, this is the second suit of this kind that has been filed in the past two weeks.

Snowden, 71, who has worked as an engineer in refineries since 1964, is also naming Lockhead Martin and iron supplier Zurn Industries in his suit.

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Corp. are also named in the suit for producing defective masks that didn’t provide proper protection for employees.

The petition claims the 69 defendants were negligent and failed to test their asbestos-laced products before putting them on the market.

Compensation

Snowden is hoping that in the suit he will be compensated for his physical pain and suffering, his mental anguish, loss of wages, loss of earning capacity, physical impairment and medical expenses.
