Paste from story: "We're not saying that Alcoa has a duty to everyone in the universe," said Greg Coleman, an attorney for Satterfield.

My father died from Meso. due to asbestos exposure. It's an awful disease that causes a slow painful death. I hope this family wins.......they deserve it! The government knew for years that asbestos caused cancer. They didn't care. They allowed thousands of people to be exposed to it, knowing what it would do.
