Asbestos Victim Wins $2.4 Million in Court

Last week, the family of Daniel Edwards, a forklift driver who passed away from mesothelioma in 2008, finally got their day in court. It was a day they won’t soon forget.

Mr. Edwards’ death was unfortunate and avoidable. As an employee at National Gypsum Co. in North Carolina, Edwards moved bags of asbestos for six years during his lengthy term of employment. However, at no point during that time did either Edwards’ employer or the firm’s asbestos-supplier, Union Carbide, issue a warning to workers about the risk of asbestos exposure. Based on this failure to warn, a jury in Maryland found that National Gypsum and Union Carbide were indeed responsible for the wrongful death of Mr. Edwards and awarded his family a verdict $2.4 million.
