ASBESTOS LITIGATION: Alpough's Action v. 31 Firms Filed in Texas

Thaddeus Alpough filed an asbestos-related lawsuit in the 60th
District Court in Dallas against 31 defendant corporations,
which he accuses are responsible for his contracting
mesothelioma, JusticeNewsFlash.com reports.

Mr. Alpough has previously sued all the named defendants
claiming they are responsible for his non-malignant asbestos
related disease because he was continuously exposed to asbestos
containing products while he worked as a laborer, welder and
supervisor.

Mr. Alpough's lawyer filed the supplementary lawsuit in District
Court citing a 2000 Texas Supreme Court decision. The high court
ruled a plaintiff can file an additional lawsuit for asbestos
related cancers if their asbestos related illnesses later become
cancerous.

The suit claims the companies failed to warn Mr. Alpough and
their employees of the hazards of asbestos exposure. The
companies provided laborers with inferior protective respirator
masks which contributed to Mr. Alpough's now fatal health
problems.
