Marc P. Kunen and Jose Becerra of the Ferraro Law Firm in Miami secured a $70 million jury verdict for 71-year-old Charles E. Thornton, a former lab technician who claimed he contracted mesothelioma after being exposed to asbestos at work.

But some of those tools contained asbestos, according to Thornton’s March 2017 products liability lawsuit.
