72-year-old Thomas Firth, of South Carolina, suffered from Mesothelioma cancer since he was diagnosed in November 2006. Sadly, Thomas passed away a year later on July 13, 2007.

Thomas was exposed to asbestos fibers at the Bethlehem Steel Company where we worked for under a year as a mechanic’s assistant.

A jury awarded Thomas’ family $700,000 to help for the loss of their family member. The Bethlehem Steel Company was expected to pay the family because of their negligence and failure to warn Thomas about the dangers of asbestos products and asbestos poisoning.
