Mesothelioma Clients and Asbestos Product Identification
When you are diagnosed with mesothelioma, mesothelioma compensation is determined by proof of exposure to asbestos and asbestos-containing products for which companies are responsible. Responsibility attaches to companies who manufacture, sell, use, distribute or furnish asbestos containing products to workers’ job sites.
Our law firm has a long and successful track record of obtaining compelling evidence of asbestos product identification useful in obtaining mesothelioma compensation. Sources of evidence include invoices, job files, boiler certificates, building permits, witness statements and other evidence.
Although every case is different, here are examples of successful product identification which resulted in mesothelioma compensation:
R. W. (name withheld for privacy) worked as a carpenter on apartment buildings in Oakland, California and Berkeley, California during the 1960s and 1970s. R. W. was diagnosed with pleural mesothelioma. R. W. installed fire-rated doors which had an asbestos core material. He made cuts to these doors to install windows in them which caused exposure to the asbestos material within the fire-rated doors. Since R.W. remembered the names of the buildings he built, our law firm obtained building permits confirming that the asbestos fire doors were manufactured and supplied by U. S. Plywood Corporation (now known as International Paper.)
Also, work sites were inspected and the photographs of US Fire Door containing asbestos were obtained. Because of this evidence and other evidence of asbestos product identification, our law firm was able to obtain mesothelioma compensation for R. W. and his family.
F. H. (name withheld for privacy) was another client diagnosed with mesothelioma. F. H. worked as a pipe fitter installing sectional boilers in car dealerships and other commercial buildings. To install the sectional boilers F.H. mixed and applied an asbestos insulating cement and an asbestos rope supplied by the boiler manufacturer.
Our law firm obtained asbestos boiler installation instructions for F. H.’s job sites which confirmed the identification of Peerless sectional boilers. Our law firm also conducted discovery of the Peerless asbestos boiler installation instructions which confirmed that asbestos products were supplied by Peerless to F. H.
F. H. remembered installing other brands of sectional boilers including American Standard and mixing and asbestos cement material to install the boilers. The American Standard asbestos boiler installation manual, obtained in discovery by our law firm, confirmed the use of asbestos cement to erect these boilers. Because of this evidence and other evidence of asbestos product identification, our law firm was able to obtain mesothelioma compensation for F. H. and his family from the manufacturers of these boilers, and from the suppliers of the boilers and their component parts. The family of F. H. is now financially secure.
A person who is diagnosed with mesothelioma does not always know the identity of manufacturer and supplier of the asbestos containing products to his work sites. Let the experienced mesothelioma attorneys at Clapper Patti Schweizer & Mason conduct a detailed investigation into your work history and job sites to find this key evidence for mesothelioma compensation.
