On February 28, 2007 the estate of Robert Briggs filed an asbestos lawsuit in Madison County Circuit Court after claiming his death was wrongful and should have been prevented. Briggs, who worked for Owens Corning and Jay Wolfe Pontiac in Kansas City for many years, died from Mesothelioma on March 21, 2005. In the complaint, 94 defendant corporations have been named as responsible parties as it is believed that many of them knowingly exposed Briggs unnecessarily to asbestos containing products and fibers.
