Calif. High Court Reinstates Asbestos Verdict

The California Supreme Court ruled that an asbestos supplier is responsible for not warning end users about the dangers of a manufacturer’s product. William Webb sued raw asbestos supplier Special Electric Company after he was diagnosed with mesothelioma in January of 2011, caused by inhaling asbestos fibers while he was working for a pipe supply company as a warehouseman and truck driver.
