› $150,000,000 verdict in personal injury case
According to a report in Risk & Insurance magazine, legislation currently pending in the Texas Senate would make it easier for people with mesothelioma lawsuits to have their day in court. Senate Bill 1123, which is sponsored by Senator Robert Duncan (R-Lubbock) would eliminate the need for mesothelioma victims to prove exactly how much asbestos they had been exposed to as the source of their cancer.
A jury in Newport News, Virginia, Circuit Court awarded the family of a former Navy sailor $1.2 million, finding that his death from mesothelioma was linked to the asbestos fibers he inhaled during his career. Gerald Gray died in April at age 75, after battling mesothelioma for 16 months. Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that most often affects the lining of the lungs, but which can also affect the lining of the abdomen or, more rarely, the heart. It is caused by asbestos exposure.
The results of a recent inspection of the historic 1820 Courthouse and the adjacent Plymouth County Commissioner’s building in Plymouth, Massachusetts, has resulted in an estimate topping $600,000 for recommended and required renovations and repairs to meet environmental standards. According to a report in the Wicked Local Plymouth, the assessment was completed by Atlantic Environmental Technologies, Inc., of New Bedford, and includes plans for removal of asbestos, lead and three underground storage tanks.
