Jury Awards $20.9 Million to Washington Worker Diagnosed with Mesothelioma after Asbestos Exposure at “Tacoma Aroma” Mill
A King County jury has awarded $20.9 million to Scot McLeod, a former abatement worker who developed mesothelioma after being exposed to asbestos at industrial worksites across the Pacific Northwest beginning in 1989. Mr. McLeod is represented by attorneys Kaitlin Cherf, Colin Mieling and Craig Sims of Schroeter Goldmark & Bender (SGB).
SGB attorneys Peter O’Neil, Tom Breen, and Sergio Garcidueñas-Sease helped Meike’s son, Niclas Foster, get to the bottom of what caused his mother’s death – an automotive fire caused by nesting rodents, coupled with the vehicle’s poorly executed design.
Regarded among his peers as an outstanding trial attorney and tenacious advocate, Tom relishes the challenge of helping his clients.
