Attorney Ed Mueller, who unsuccessfully defended a $10. 4 million wrongful death suit for John Crain Inc., has been quoted as saying he would wear the products accused of contributing to the death of 60-year-old Buddy Jones, a former shipyard worker.
Jones was diagnosed with mesothelioma, a fatal cancer linked to asbestos, nearly 20 years after leaving the shipyard job. Mesothelioma can lie dormant for decades.
John Crain is known for not settling asbestos cases, preferring to take them to court.
"We defend cases because we believe in the safety of the product," Mueller is quoted as saying. "If you were sitting here right now, I'd take a piece out and put it around my neck and wear it home."
It's important to note that Mueller qualified his statement with the phrase "if you were sitting here right now."
We wonder if he would be willing to put in four years of the type of work Jones performed.
We think not.
