Asbestos Lawsuit against Building Owners By City

City Files Lawsuit against Building Owners over Asbestos Debris City authorities are trying to remove the asbestos-contaminated waste of 135 E. Main St. at the earliest after the Marshalltown grocery store burned in February. The city council had approved filing a asbestos lawsuit against F&H Properties Corp., the building owners, to force the cleanup. City lawyer Curt Ward said the city has filed a complaint claiming that the debris is a problem. The lawsuit will allow the court to seize the funds for the cleanup from F&H and hand over it to the city. F&H, which is owned by Ed Hughes and Charles Fairall, has 20 days for filing documentation. “The issue should stay in property owners’ hands. It should not be shif ted to the citizens,” Ward said.

Mesothelioma is rare but devastating. According to the CDC, 2,669 new cases were diagnosed in the United States in 2022. Asbestos exposure is the only known cause — and compensation systems exist because exposure was widespread and preventable.

$6,142,500

Our client was a 68-year-old woman diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma after having been exposed to asbestos-contaminated products. Her illness was blamed on both primary and secondary exposure to the carcinogen, as she helped her husband with his general contracting work and laundered his work clothes, which were frequently covered with asbestos fibers and dust. She received $6,142,500 after attorneys' fees and expenses.

$5,939,010

Our 46-year-old client spent years demolishing and repairing buildings damaged by flood and fire, as well as doing boat repairs. Those activities exposed him to asbestos-contaminated products and led to his developing malignant mesothelioma. We secured him an award of $5,939,010 after attorneys' fees and expenses.
