Dawn Koch of Missouri has filed an asbestos lawsuit against 88 defendant corporations after her husband, Stephen, died of mesothelioma in August of 2007. Mr. Koch had been diagnosed in June of that same year.The lawsuit alleges that Mr. Koch, who worked as a laborer for two years at various locations, was exposed to asbestos while on the job and subsequently developed asbestos-related cancer.  Mrs. Koch is seeking over $350,000 in damages, including compensation for medical costs. She is also seeking damages “in an amount sufficient to punish the defendants” and claims that her husband’s medical condition was foreseeable and could have been prevented if his former employers had taken appropriate safety measures.
