Several lawsuits have recently been filed in West Virginia's Kanawha Circuit Court over exposure to asbestos.
Insufficient Training and Equipment Claimed
Charles Kinder's suit names as defendants 59 corporations, including Ohio Valley Insulating Company, Union Boiler Company and Vimasco, which are all based in West Virginia. The suit seeks both compensatory and punitive damages.
According to the suit, Kinder was exposed to asbestos from 1953 to 1992 during the course of his work. Kinder has untreatable, incurable lung cancer as a result of his exposure, the suit claims.
The suit claims the corporations failed to supply the plaintiff with appropriate clothing, training, and equipment for the safe handling and working around asbestos.
Electrician's Widow Sues
Orpha McGraner's suit, filed on the behalf of her recently deceased husband, names 15 corporations as defendants.
The suit claims William McGranor was exposed to asbestos in insulation and building materials during the 41 years he worked as an electrician. As a result, he developed pulmonary conditions and died from lung cancer.
McGranor seeks compensatory damages for wrongful death and funeral costs.
Steel Worker Files Suit
Calvin Burge names 67 defendants in his lawsuit which claims that during his work as an equipment operator and laborer in steel mills and coal mines, he was exposed to asbestos. This caused his mesothelioma and asbestosis, according to the suit.
As a result of the companies' negligence, Burge is severely disabled and his injuries are or may be permanent.
