Jury awards $8.75 million in asbestos lawsuit

A jury has awarded $8.75 million to a 65-year-old man who has incurable cancer as a result of asbestos exposure in the 1970s. The Oregonian/OregonLive reports that David Hoff's attorneys say the former construction worker's mesothelioma was caused by a wallboard product that became airborne when it was sanded down.
