Description
In December, 1980, William Taylor and his wife, Pauline, residents of New Jersey, filed a civil lawsuit in the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County in which they sought to recover damages for injuries allegedly suffered by Taylor as a result of long term occupational exposure to asbestos during approximately forty years of employment in the shipbuilding industry at the New York Shipyard in Camden, New Jersey, and the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. This action, based on theories of negligence and strict liability, named as defendants numerous manufacturers and suppliers whose asbestos products were alleged to have caused Taylor to develop asbestosis and other related ailments. A claim for loss of consortium was also asserted on behalf of Mrs. Taylor. Prior to trial, settlements were reached with the following named defendants: Raybestos Manhattan, Inc. Forty-Eight Insulation, Inc. Nicolet Industries, Inc.; GAF Corp.; H. K. Porter Co., Inc. & Southern Asbestos Co.; Garlock, Inc. - Precision Seal Division; U. S. Rubber Co. & Uni-Royal, Inc.; and Owens-Corning Fiberglas Co., Inc. Additionally, Johns-Manville Corp. & Johns-Manville Sales Corp. UNARCO Industries, Inc., Pacor, Inc., and Amatex Corp., who had been named as defendants, filed for protection under Chapter Eleven of the Bankruptcy Code, and the causes of action against these defendants were stayed.
