Attorney Audrey Snyder secured a $1.8 million workers’ compensation settlement on behalf of former Champion Paper Mill employees who developed lung diseases linked to asbestos exposure. The case established a clear connection between the workers’ conditions and occupational exposure, resulting in compensation for medical expenses and lost wages.  

Our client was diagnosed with lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure in a western North Carolina chemical plant. Despite a history of smoking, exposure to asbestos was found to be a cause of our client’s lung cancer. The $11 million recovery includes medical expenses, pain and suffering, future medical expenses, and punitive damages.
