Children Sue Over Father's Asbestos Exposure

Mary Alpough and her siblings, children of Thaddeus Alpough have filed suit against their father's former employer, Chevron USA. They claimed that their father as a boilermaker helper and pipefitter at Chevron's Port Arthur refinery was exposed to asbestos dust and fibers.

As a result of this, Thaddeus Alpough developed asbestos-related pleural disease and died with painful death on May 7, 2010. The suit accuses Chevron of knowing that asbestos products could cause cancer but still chose to expose to the workers.
