$1.5 Million: Asbestos/Mesothelioma

During his career as a pipefitter Mr. Crane was continually exposed to Kaylo pipe covering and block insulation manufactured by Owens Corning. In his retirement years, he was an active volunteer with Shriners and enjoyed the outdoors. Then, in 1991, at the age of 67, he died of malignant mesothelioma, caused from his exposure to carcinogenic agents, such as asbestos.

Ervin A. Gonzalez represented his widow in a nine day trial. Mr. Gonzalez was able to prove that Mr. Crane’s life ended prematurely, and the jury awarded $1.5 million.
