Asbestos is all around us. But that doesn’t mean it’s killing us. You may have asbestos-laced insulation in your attic, yet as long as that insulation isn’t disturbed, you run little risk of inhaling its potentially deadly asbestos fibers, which can lead to cancer. Sadly, for many workers asbestos exposure and asbestos poisoning are a daily occurrence – and often without their knowledge. That apparently was the case for Ronald Deem, an Orange, Texas man who recently died after spending many years working in paper mills, chemical plants, refineries, military installations and other sites where asbestos exposure was suspected. His widow is now bringing an asbestos lawsuit for damages against his former employers and manufacturers – 39 companies, to be exact. |
