Chemical Company held liable in mesothelioma workers' injury case

The team of Carolin Shining of Paul and Hanley LLP and Simona Farise of the Farise Law Firm were successful in obtaining a verdict in excess of $9 million against Union Carbide Corporation. The case involved a terminal and incurable asbestos cancer suffered by a lifetime plumber who was present when drywall muds containing Union Carbide's Calidria fiber were sanded and released into the air. The award included a first-ever finding of punitive damages against Union Carbide of $6 million dollars.
