Hendricks, Armstrong, Asbestos & Mesothelioma: A recent case in the United States District Court, C.D. California ruled on a motion for remand.
The Hendricks, Armstrong, Asbestos & Mesothelioma case documents what many asbestos exposure victims and others may face today – past potential direct and secondary exposure to asbestos and mesothelioma.
The court ruled: Motion to Remand is GRANTED
A brief summary of the facts include:
- Plaintiff James Hendricks suffers from mesothelioma, a type of cancer associated with asbestos exposure.
- Defendants are all either manufacturers of asbestos products or owners of premises where such products were stored, handled, or installed.
- Plaintiff James Hendricks, Jr. and his father were both employed by State Defendant SoCal Edison (“Edison”).
- In the state court proceedings, Edison argued that state workers’ compensation law prevented a claim based on any contact with asbestos fibers both during his own time of employment.
- Plaintiffs also alleged liability based on exposure to fibers that were carried home on his father’s clothes from Edison’s power plant when Mr. Hendricks, Jr. was a child.
- The state court granted summary judgment to Edison, focusing primarily on the latter (“secondary”) exposure theory.
