(EMAILWIRE.COM, November 04, 2007 ) Denver, CO -- A Florida man, Walter Idalski, filed suit against 63 corporations he claims are responsible for his recent mesothelioma diagnosis caused through exposure to asbestos during a nearly 40-year period. The man worked as a foreman, welder, maintenance worker and porter from 1944 to 1983, during which time he believes his exposure and inhalation of asbestos fibers occurred. The suit, which will be tried in Madison County Circuit Court in Florida under case number 07-L-000920, claims that several of the companies the man was employed by, including Chrysler, Ford Motor Company and General Electric, knew and could have prevented the exposure, which has over the years developed into a deadly form of mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a fatal disease, which is usually caused by inhalation of asbestos fibers. The fibers attach to the lung and over long periods of time cause a severe form of cancer.
