Asbestos and Mesothelioma Lawsuits in Long Beach California
Long Beach, California has been home to some significant verdicts, including multi-million-dollar jury awards. Some of these cases include the following handled by unaffiliated law firms:
- A Long Beach, California jury awarded a sizeable verdict in 2018 to a man and his wife. The man’s father worked for a water service provider where he cut, installed and repaired asbestos-cement water pipes. The plaintiffs claimed the father’s employer did not alert him or other employees to the dangers of asbestos. Because the father brought home work contaminated with asbestos fibers, his family was exposed to asbestos and his son later developed mesothelioma. The jury found the employer acted unreasonably and was responsible for the man developing mesothelioma. The award included compensatory damages, damages for pain and suffering and punitive damages.
- In 2009, a man who worked as an automobile serviceman for Southern California Edison in Long Beach was awarded a large verdict by a Los Angeles jury. The man was responsible for inspecting, removing, and replacing brakes on vehicles, which contained asbestos. The man developed mesothelioma. The case was appealed and affirmed.
- In 2008, a Los Angeles jury awarded a sizable verdict to a man who was exposed to asbestos while working as a Navy machinist on the USS Preble in Long Beach. The man was diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma in 2007. While on that job, he worked around gaskets that contained asbestos. 11 other defendants had settled the case before trial.
