In yet another negative development in regards to asbestos, a Michigan man has filed a Mesothelioma lawsuit against 51 defendants who the plaintiff claims exposed him to asbestos through his father’s clothing. The story was reported by the Madison St. Clair Record, and the most relevant passage from the article appears below:
“Walter Nalezyty claims his father was employed at Chrysler as a metal finisher and bump out installer.
“Dust created by working with and around asbestos and asbestos-containing products would permeate the person and clothing of the plaintiff’s father,” the complaint states. “This dust contained asbestos fiber.”
Nalezyty claims his father would carry the asbestos dust on his clothing home with him where it would again become airborne.
“The plaintiff would be repeatedly exposed to this asbestos dust from his father’s person and clothing,” the complaint states.
Nalezyty was employed from 1964 through 1991 as a pattern maker and installer at various locations in Michigan and Illinois.
He claims he was exposed to asbestos during non-occupational work projects including home and automotive repairs, maintenance and remodeling.
Nalezyty was diagnosed with mesothelioma on Aug. 7, and subsequently became aware that his illness was wrongfully caused, the suit claims.”
More claims like this one are sure to follow eventually, as asbestos is a substance that follows those exposed to it in many ways.
