George Geisler, from Utah, filed a suit against 59 different corporations claiming that he developed mesothelioma as a result of asbestos exposure.

Geisler claims that he was exposed to asbestos while working as a machinist for a number of different locations in both Utah and Illinois. He claims that he was exposed to asbestos fibers through working with specific products.

The lawsuit claims that the defendants could foresee the harmful effects of asbestos, but action was not taken to protect Geisler from exposure. The suit stipulates that adequate warning was not given regarding possible prevention techniques or proper hygiene, in order to prevent asbestos contamination of his home.

The suit seeks damages in order to pay for the needed medical treatment associated with mesothelioma, which is a rare form of lung cancer known to be caused from asbestos exposure.

Mesothelioma attorneys are working on cases in which severe illness or fatality has resulted from negligent asbestos exposure.
