A lawsuit involving a woman dying of asbestos-caused cancer has resulted in an award of $1.1 million.
Phyllis Granville, 89, was unknowingly exposed to asbestos when she handled her husband’s work clothes, who worked as a tile installer for many businesses. Before the 1970s, tiles often contained asbestos.
Granville made her case against over a dozen defendants, many companies who both manufactured and sold asbestos-containing materials. Granville told the court that she never expected that washing her husband’s asbestos-covered clothes would result in spending her last years with a painful and deadly disease like mesothelioma.
This trial is one of a growing list of cases filed by individuals who did not have direct exposure to asbestos but rather suffered due to another party’s negligence. This kind of exposure often affects older women who spent much of their married lives caring for the needs of their working class husbands.
