In a recent court decision, the Pennsylvania Superior Court ruled in favor of a widow pursuing a wrong death claim after losing her husband to mesothelioma. R.L.S. was diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma after suffering asbestos exposure while working with Penelec for over 20 years. Before his death, Mr. S and his wife filed a lawsuit against Penelec. After Mr. S died, his wife amended the complaint to include a wrongful death claim.
