Partner Stephen Harrington recently obtained a voluntary dismissal on behalf of a general contractor client in a wrongful death case filed in San Francisco County.  Decedent died from complications of metastatic mesothelioma and his widow and heirs filed suit against various defendants claiming that decedent contracted mesothelioma as a result of exposure to asbestos through his work as an electrician, including jobs on which our client was allegedly the general contractor between 1965 and 1985.  Within a month of our firm entering an appearance, and before protracted and costly discovery, Plaintiffs provided a dismissal for a waiver of costs.
