The Massena Courier Observer recently featured an article on Ruth Worden of Massena who has filed a lawsuit alleging that the death of her husband, Norm. F. Worden, was caused by exposure to asbestos. Ms. Worden’s husband was an industrial worker who spent most of his career working in jobsites, including the Reynolds and Alcoa plants in Massena, where asbestos-products were commonly used. Mr. Worden also worked at a number of other sites, such as shipyards, steel mills and chemical plants, that also exposed him to asbestos. Workers in these environments are regularly diagnosed with asbestos-related illnesses and many die because of them. Mr. Worden passed away in 2007, which the lawsuit alleges was the result of his prior occupations.

Ms. Worden’s lawsuit was prepared by Joseph W. Belluck, a founding partner of Belluck & Fox, LLP and a highly-regarded asbestos and mesothelioma litigation attorney.
