Read the blog from Frank Penney Injury Lawyers in Roseville, CA below.

Asbestos was used in many industrial and building materials throughout the twentieth century, even though the dangers of asbestos exposure had been studied and documented in the 1930s. Corporations continue to be liable for irresponsible practices that threatened their employee’s lives, and the lives of others in the immediate area that have been involved with wrongful death cases.

What is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that grows in the lining of internal organs – typically, the lungs. It can take 20 – 50 years before the symptoms appear, so you must take action as soon as you receive this diagnosis. It is important to begin medical treatment and seek legal counsel from an experienced personal injury lawyer immediately. Even if you don’t know where you were exposed to asbestos, your attorney can conduct an investigation to help you get some answers.

Central California Asbestos Case

A federal court judge recently awarded $1.8 million in damages to victims of asbestos exposure in Merced. Executives from an organization called Firm Build, which was hired to provide construction job training for high school students, were found guilty of neglecting to follow regulations regarding the proper handling and disposal of asbestos. The majority of victims were high school students at the time, but some school staff members were also unknowingly exposed. The money is intended to fund continual medical monitoring throughout the rest of their lives.

Sacramento Seniors at Risk

Because asbestos was used so commonly in certain occupations through the 1970s, resulting in diseases such as lung cancer and mesothelioma are now seen among those in elder care. Seniors who worked as a miner, electrician, factory worker, shipyard worker, construction worker, or auto mechanic are among the most at risk.

An estimated 3,000 mesothelioma cases arise each year in the United States, most as a result of occupational exposure. If you or someone you love may have been exposed to asbestos, don’t hesitate to contact a skilled personal injury attorney. Haven’t you suffered enough?

Horse Killed, Rider Seriously Injured in Sacramento County Crash

By Frank Penney • April 9, 2025

A heartbreaking incident unfolded Friday evening in Sacramento County when a vehicle struck a horse and its rider on Cosumnes Road. The California Highway Patrol reported that the accident happened just before 8 p.m. in the 9600 block of the rural roadway. The impact of the crash threw the rider off the horse, and both were severely injured. Tragically, the horse’s injuries were so serious that it had to be euthanized at the scene. The rider also sustained major injuries and was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment. While the crash caused temporary delays and prompted a brief road closure, officials have confirmed that alcohol or drugs were not involved. However, the cause of the crash remains under investigation, and authorities have not yet released further details about what led to the collision.

High-Speed Crash in Granite Bay, California Claims Lives of Two Local Teens

By Frank Penney • April 8, 2025

A devastating crash early Sunday morning in Granite Bay has claimed the lives of two young men, leaving a community in mourning. The incident happened around 3:15 a.m. on Eureka Road, just east of Bridle Path Lane, when a 2022 BMW M3 lost control, veered off the roadway, and collided with a tree. The impact was so severe that the car split in half. The Placer County Sheriff’s Office identified the victims as 19-year-old Kai Gini and 18-year-old Keven Garcia. Both were former students of the Roseville Joint Unified School District, which has since acknowledged the heartbreaking loss. According to the California Highway Patrol, speed is believed to have played a significant role in the crash. Authorities also suspect the driver may have been under the influence of drugs or alcohol, though the investigation is still ongoing. It has not yet been determined who was behind the wheel at the time of the accident. Emergency responders pronounced both teens dead at the scene. The road remained closed for approximately four hours as CHP and fire personnel investigated. Anyone who may have information about the crash is encouraged to contact CHP Auburn at 916-663-3344.
