DuPont to Blame for Man’s Death, Asbestos Cancer Lawsuit Says

By Sarah Pierce

Mesothelioma asbestos
The family of a man who died from lung cancer last year after being exposed to asbestos on the job has filed an asbestos cancer lawsuit against DuPont and a slew of companies, alleging they are to blame for his death.
 
The family of the late John B. Fielder filed the asbestos wrongful death lawsuit July 25, 2012 in the Southern District of Texas against El DuPont Nemours and Co., 4520 Corp., Foster Wheeler Energy Corp. and Zurn Industries LLC, alleging they contributed to Fielder’s asbestos cancer and eventual death on July 28, 2011. 
 

Fielder worked as a pipe fitter at several DuPont facilities from 1955 to 1961. According to the wrongful death lawsuit, he was exposed to asbestos dust and fibers during that time, which caused him to develop cancer. Foster Wheeler, Zurn and 4520 Corp. are accused of manufacturing, selling, designing, supplying, distributing, mining, milling, relabeling, reselling, processing, applying or installing insulation and machinery that was “poisonous and highly harmful.”

 
Fielder’s family alleges in the asbestos wrongful death lawsuit that DuPont “was aware, or should have been aware, of the dangers associated with exposures to asbestos at the premises where the Plaintiffs’ decedent worked.” 
 
“Nevertheless, Defendant DuPont failed to warn employees, invitees and contractors of the dangers associated with occupational exposure to asbestos and required employees, contractors and/or invitees such as the decedent to work with or in proximity to asbestos without the necessary precautions to avoid dangerous exposures,” the lawsuit states. The family, with the help of their asbestos wrongful death lawyer, is seeking unspecified monetary damages.
Filing an Asbestos Wrongful Death Lawsuit
 
Exposure to asbestos is a well-known cause of cancer, including lung cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis and other asbestos related diseases. Every year, hundreds of people die from asbestos cancer after being exposed to the toxic substance, forcing families of these victims to fight in their loved one’s honor for compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, funeral expenses, wrongful death, and more. These family members are participating in asbestos cancer lawsuits, asbestos class action lawsuits and asbestos wrongful death lawsuits to get the compensation they deserve.
 
If your loved one suffered one or more of the following asbestos related diseases, an asbestos injury consultant can determine if you are due compensation for his or her injuries:
 
* Mesothelioma
* Asbestosis
* Lung cancer
* Asbestosis warts
* Pleural plaques
* Diffuse pleural thickening
* Pneumothorax
 
Hundreds, if not thousands, of people die every year from asbestos cancers like mesothelioma, lung cancer and other asbestos side effects. An asbestos cancer lawsuit, mesothelioma lawsuit, asbestos class action lawsuit or wrongful death lawsuit can help you recover compensation for your family.
