Mesothelioma cancer due to asbestos exposure

Katherine Brashers, the widow of a former worker, from Henderson city, in Texas, filed lawsuit against eight different companies, accusing them for her husband death. 

Michael B. Brashers worked for Union Oil Company between 1963-1998, in Jefferson County, Texas. 

Katherine Brasher blames the company for her husband death, mentioning that the company did not warned her husband about the risk of developing mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure when working. She is also mentioning that the company hasn’t done a fully training to educate her husband while working with asbestos. She is accusing the companies for negligence and in the mean time she is trying to win the trial. 

Brashers was diagnosed with mesothelioma in April 2008 and died later that month, according to the papers placed on the records.

 It was a tragically situation for the former worker’s wife, knowing that mesothelioma cancer is a rare type of cancer and if diagnosed late it can take only up to four weeks to cause death. 

Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos. Inhaled or swallowed it can cause serious health problems. It first affects the lining of the lung and continues with the rest of the internal organs. Mesothelioma symptoms can appear even after 30 years from the exposure so it is kind of difficult to detect in time if symptoms do not show. Most of the cancer patients are diagnosed in advanced stages of the disease and only a few of them are prepared to fight the cancer.

 Michael B. Brashers is one of the mesothelioma victims and unfortunately he didn’t have the chance to recover. Every year new cases of mesothelioma are detected and people die every day from cancer.

 The companies filed in the lawsuit include: Union Oil Company of California, Westinghouse Electric, Hercules Inc. Able Supply, Champlain Cable Corp, and a few more.
