Mesothelioma is an aggressive lung cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. A New Jersey jury recently returned a $30 million verdict in favor of a 50 year old advertising executive who died from mesothelioma. The decedant's exposure to asbestos was when he worked summer jobs at GM warehouses handling asbestos-containing automotive parts. The decedant's father also worked full-time at the warehouse and brought asbestos fibers home on his wok clothes. The verdict was against Asbestos Corp. Ltd. of Canada, which provided material for the GM brakes, and BorgWarner Inc. of Michiga, which made clutches.
