Belluck & Fox is pleased to announce that Judge James W. McCarthy of the Oswego County Supreme Court has ruled in favor of its client, mesothelioma victim James Pyle, by denying a motion for summary judgment by defendant Flowserve US, Inc., in the matter of Mr. Pyle’s alleged exposure to asbestos from gate valves manufactured by Edward Values, Inc. Mr. Pyle was exposed to asbestos during his career at Crucible Steel, where he was a boiler tender from 1963-1966 and then a stationary engineer from 1966 to 2003. Belluck & Fox filed suit on behalf of Mr. Pyle and his family against Flowserve US for their alleged liability in Mr. Pyle’s development of mesothelioma and his tragic death from this terrible disease.

Flowserve US moved for dismissal against Mr. Pyle’s case on a number of issues, but Judge McCarthy denied their request, ruling that Belluck & Fox had presented strong evidence on behalf of Mr. Pyle and that his case should be decided on its merits during a trial.

Judge McCarthy handles all of the asbestos cases in Syracuse, Oswego, Watertown, Utica and Rome.

Mr. Pyle is represented by Joseph W. Belluck of Belluck & Fox.
