for the defendants. "Mr. Rando's employers did not protect him from the clouds of asbestos in which he worked, even though basic prevention methods have been known since the 1930s," said Melancon. "This man has had to accept that the disease that will kill him was preventable, but his employers did nothing to protect him."

He was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2006 and continues to fight his disease from his home in Ponchatoula, Louisiana.
