Mesothelioma is a rare cancer obtained only from asbestos exposure.
And Rhoda Evans, wife of Bobby Evans contracted mesothelioma from asbestos fibers her husband brought home on his clothes.
Bobby Evans worked for the CertainTeed Corporation and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power where he cut CertainTeed water pipes made of asbestos cement. This process released microscopic asbestos fibers onto his clothing which Mrs. Evans often washed which exposed her to the deadly fibers.
After a diagnosis of mesothelioma most patients only live for an average of a year.
After contracting mesothelioma from the Los Angeles based Department of Water and Power the California jury determined that Rhoda Evans, and her husband, Bobby Evans, should be awarded the sum of 208 million dollars for compensatory and punitive damages.
There is no cure for mesothelioma at this time.
