Baron & Pudd, P.C., a Dallas law firm, has announced a settlement in the case involving a San Francisco man and his wife.

Some of the manufacturers and distributors named in the suit included San Ramon, Kaiser Gypsum Company Inc. and Hanson Permanente Cement Inc., for their products containing asbestos.

Man Living with Mesothelioma

Mr. Dachauer worked as a plasterer from 1955 until 1997 in San Francisco.

The case claimed that while working, he regularly used stucco and other products that were manufactured and sold by Kaiser Gypsum and Hanson Permanente and contained asbestos.

The Dachauer’s sued the companies after he was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2006.

The Settlement

In early July, Kaiser Gypsum and Hanson Permanente settled the case before Judge Mary Wiss in San Francisco.

“I would like to say the settlement will allow John to live out the rest of his life with some comfort, but there is no comfort for someone with mesothelioma,” says Russell Budd, the managing shareholder of Baron & Budd. “The settlement provides some compensation for the years of life he will lose as a result of his exposure to asbestos.”
