A man from Texas recently filed an asbestos lawsuit against 38 defendant corporations, alleging that his illness from asbestos exposure was wrongfully caused.
The plaintiff, Cleveland J. Savoy was employed as a carpenter, where he claims he was exposed to products that contained asbestos.
Carpenter Claims Wrongful Exposure
Savoy claims the defendants named in the asbestos lawsuit failed to test the products with the toxic substance before they were introduced into the stream of commerce.
He states that the defendant companies were negligent by failing to warn people of the dangers of the products which he was using on a daily basis.
He also states the companies continued to manufacture these products even after they became aware of the risks and dangers associated with asbestos.
38 Companies Named as Defendants
Some of the defendants named in the lawsuit are A.O. Smith Corp., A.W. Chesterton Co., American Optical, Ametek, Babcock Borsig Power, and Bayer Cropscience.
Savoy also claims in the asbestos lawsuit that due to his trust and reliance on the companies, he has suffered great physical pain and mental anguish. He says he has also lost wages, sustained disfigurement and physical impairment, and has incurred medical costs.
Exposure to asbestos has been known to cause mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other health complications that can be life-altering.
