Jury Awards Over $2.8 Million to Carpenter With Asbestosis - PR Web press release
Mr. Phelps worked as a mechanic, laborer and carpenter. He was likely first exposed to asbestos as a child when he delivered lunch to his father at work in a locomotive roundhouse. Mr. Phelps was later exposed to asbestos during his years in the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Army, while working in the construction industry, and while working as a mechanic replacing automotive brakes, clutches and engines.
At no time during his career was Mr. Phelps advised to wear any form of respiratory protection. Hamilton Materials, the defendant, manufactured asbestos drywall finishing materials that Mr. Phelps was exposed to during his work as a carpenter and laborer.------------------------------------------- posted 5:09 AM :: reference link ::
