A trial is currently under way concerning an individual who was exposed to asbestos through his work with the U.S. Navy.  Harvey Gudmondson died at age 70 due to mesothelioma which was caused by exposure to asbestos through his work on turbines in the Navy.  Mr. Gudmondson spent three years stationed off the coast of the Korean peninsula where he worked as a navy electrician.  Additionally, Gudmondson served in the ship's laundry room where he was exposed to asbestos-laden clothing from other seamen who worked in the engine room.  The attorney representing Mr. Gudmondson is arguing that despite their knowledge G.E. failed to inform workers of the danger of handling Mesothelioma as well as potential procedures they could take to limit their exposure.  By contrast, the G.E. attorney argues that G.E. had no responsibility in the matter because they delivered the turbines to the Navy without the insulation.  Edwardsville Intelligencer Reports:On Wednesday, attorney David Greenstone wrapped up the plaintiff's case by questioning Dr. Eugene Mark, an asbestos expert and a medical pathologist who practices at Massachusetts General Hospital. Mark agreed with Greenstone's assertion that Gudmondson's exposure to asbestos from G.E.'s turbines was a "substantial factor in causing mesothelioma." Read More: Asbestos trial under way more...
