A Texas man has filed an asbestos suit on behalf of his recently deceased relative against 27 defendant corporations, claiming the asbestos-related disease with which the deceased man was diagnosed was wrongfully caused.
Curtis Blake Phillips claims Omar Rucker Phillips worked as a pipefitter and welder where he was required to work with or around asbestos-containing products and materials.
Although Omar Rucker Phillips already sued for a non-malignant asbestos-related disease, Curtis Blake Phillips alleges his claim is allowable because Omar Rucker Phillips died from a different malignant disease than what was presented in his original suit.
The plaintiff cites Pustejovsky vs. Rapid American Corp., a 2000 decision in which the Texas Supreme Court ruled that a victim may file an additional suit for asbestos-related cancer if he develops a second illness from the same cause at a later date.
Curtis Blake Phillips states the defendants were negligent because they did not adequately test products before putting them into the stream of commerce, according to the lawsuit.
