Asbestos Lawsuit Results in $71M Damage Verdict for Mesothelioma Injury November 18, 2014 Irvin Jackson Add Your Comments A former U.S. Navy machinist who was exposed to asbestos over a number of years has been awarded $71 million in a mesothelioma lawsuit. The complaint was filed by Richard Whalen and his wife, Linda, against packing and gasket manufacturer John Crane. Whalen worked as a machinist mate and nuclear inspector on U.S. Navy submarines from 1964 to 1990, and was diagnosed with mesothelioma in December 2013. The asbestos lawsuit claimed that Whalen was exposed to the toxic substances, in part, because of working on and around packing and gaskets made by John Crane. At trial, it was alleged that the company knew its asbestos-based products posed a serious risk to human health but failed to warn workers or provide them with the proper protection.
