The estate of a man who recently died from mesothelioma has been filed in Ohio against 73 defendants.

The asbestos lawsuit claims that the man’s illness was wrongfully caused and blames his former employers for his exposure to asbestos.

Man Exposed at Work

Paul Bowen reportedly worked as a laborer, truck driver and miner at various locations throughout Ohio for several decades.

Bowen’s wife was also employed as a machine operator and finisher.

Bowen’s estate claims that during the time of their employment, both Bowen and his wife worked with and around asbestos and asbestos containing products.

Suit Filed

The state filed the suit against the couple’s former employers after Bowen died from mesothelioma, an illness caused by asbestos exposure.

“Plaintiff has been caused to suffer damages in the form of impaired ability to recover against defendants and lost or reduced compensation from other potentially liable parties in this litigation,” explains the complaint.

The estate is seeking compensation for at least $250,000 for the negligence of the accused companies.
