Recent offshore asbestos cases have seen victims prevailing in lawsuits against Conoco Phillips and Union Carbide.
On May 10, 2011, the companies were ordered to pay Thomas “Tony” Brown, Jr. $322 million—the single largest plaintiff’s asbestos jury verdict in U.S. history. Brown, 48, of Brookhaven, MS, suffers from asbestos he contracted after handling asbestos-laden drilling mud in the late 70s and early 80s.
In 2010, a 71-year-old oil industry worker was awarded $15 million by a Mississippi jury. In that case, plaintiff Troy Lofton testified with tubes running out of his mouth and ears while hooked up to an oxygen tank he was required to breath out of 24 hours a day. Conoco Phillips was the defendant in that case.
