$4 Million Settlement for a Washington State Ferry System Worker Exposed to Asbestos

We have a client who was exposed to asbestos while working with the Washington State Ferry system. He was a public servant his entire career and very much cared about safety. It was a tough case because the law wasn’t really on our side and he was too sick to give his own testimony, but his co-workers and his family all pulled together to give us the evidence that we needed. You know, I’m happy that the defendant in that case came forward and did the right thing, and we were able to get an over $4 million settlement for his family.

One thing that stuck with me about this case is, you know, he was a good man, a good leader, a good dad. But I was reminded during the course of this case that what happened to him was wrong. Even if he wasn’t a good man, a good leader, and a good dad, nobody deserves to suffer an asbestos injury. You don’t have to be a perfect person to be entitled to compensation.

I would encourage you, if you have suffered an asbestos injury or you know someone who has, please call our firm and we can talk to you about what happened to you and give you some more information about potentially being able to help you. Please give us a call.
