When inhaled or ingested, asbestos causes serious damage to the lungs and other internal organs over time.
A mesothelioma lawsuit was filed by Thomas Sowers. Recently diagnosed with a cancer of the lungs, mesothelioma, Sowers has listed nine defendant corporations in the lawsuit. He claims that he was exposed to asbestos during his time working for these corporations or through his work with their products.
Sowers was employeed by the U.S. Navy from 1967 tp 1973, during which time he worked as a machinist and in the boiler and engine rooms. Then from 1973 to 1983, he worked as a laborer for Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation. After that job, he became a supervisor at Virginia Electronic & Power from 1983 to 2003. Unfortunately for Sowers, all three occupations are known for their risk of asbestos exposure.
The lawsuit states that the asbestos exposure could have been avoided if he was provided the proper safety equipment. It also states that the defendants should have been able to anticipate the dangers of their work place. Sowers and his wife are seeking compensation of close to $250,000.
