The woman has filed the suit against 43 companies and claims they are all responsible for contributing to the man’s sudden death.
Former Welder Suffers
Garland Adams reportedly worked as a welder and machinist for many years at various companies.
During his employment he was responsible for working with and around products that were laced with asbestos.
Adams recently died after suffering from an asbestos related illness.
