The daughter of a recently deceased man has filed a
mesothelioma lawsuit against several companies she claims are responsible for
exposing him to asbestos and causing the disease which took his life.
Claudia Harper filed her lawsuit January 18th in
Jefferson County District County District Court. The companies named in the
suit are Sabine Towing and Transportation Co., Chromaly American, Sequa Corp.,
Kirby Corp., Kirby Inland Marine, and ExxonMobil Corp, according to the
Southeast Texas Record.
Harper alleges that her father James Wesley Clark Jr. worked
as a seaman for Sabine from 1942 until 1973, during that time he was exposed to
asbestos.
Harper says that the companies named in the lawsuit
negligently designed vessels made of asbestos and failed to design the vessels
in a way that would protect her father from exposure to the hazardous material.
Asbestos is a known human carcinogen which causes a range of
lung diseases including mesothelioma and asbestos. With the help of a mesothelioma attorney the victims of
this disease can obtain financial compensation from the companies responsible
for their exposure.
Harper is seeking compensation for burial costs. The
experience of a mesothelioma attorney
is indispensable when filing asbestos related lawsuits.
Asbestos is a dangerous material and after years of exposure
a person can contract detrimental diseases. Mesothelioma lawyers work on the behalf of these victims so that
they may obtain the funds needed for medical care.
