HOUSTON – The First Court of Appeals recently affirmed a summary judgment win in favor of the Atlantic Richfield Company in an asbestos lawsuit alleging wrongful death.
In 2010, Thelma Mullins, representing the estate of Donald Mullins, filed suit against ARCO, alleging that her late husband was exposed to asbestos while working at the company’s petrochemical plant.
Thelma claims Donald’s alleged exposure caused him to develop mesothelioma, which led to his death in 2008.
The suit asserts Donald worked at ARCO’s plant from 1967 to 1983 and was exposed to asbestos-containing products.
After answering the suit, ARCO filed a no-evidence motion for summary judgment, asserting that Thelma could produce no evidence regarding the element of causation, court records show.
