Texas Woman Files Asbestos Lawsuit On Behalf Of Her Deceased Husband

Texas Woman Files Asbestos Lawsuit On Behalf Of Her Deceased Husband

According to recent court documents an asbestos-related lawsuit has been filed in Galveston, Texas naming Union Carbide Corporation, along with two other companies, as responsible for death of DeVaughn Chumbley Dobbs.

The suit was filed by Bacliff, Texas resident Peggy Dobbs, the wife of the late DeVaughn Chumbley Dobbs, on October 22nd in the Galveston County District Court and also names Foster Wheeler Corporation and Ingersoll-Rand Company as defendants.

DeVaughn Chumbley Dobbs was employed as a journeyman laborer and worked at a number of job sites in and around the state of Texas. The lawsuit states that Mrs. Dobbs claims that her late husband was exposed to the dangerous asbestos materials that ultimately led to his disease and subsequent death.

Dobbs was apparently “directed by Union Carbide in all matters related to safety and health” and that “important information concerning the dangers of working with asbestos” was withheld from him and other employees.

Mrs. Dobbs is seeking awards sufficient to compensate for her late husband’s pain and suffering.
