Description
The plaintiffs, the heirs of Walter T. Graves Jr., appeal a partial summary judgment that dismissed all third-party beneficiary claims against Olin Corporation (""Olin""), in their suit for wrongful death and survival damages arising from a fatal case of mesothelioma. For the reasons expressed, we affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand. Factual and Procedural Background Graves worked at the West Monroe paper mill from 1943 to 1985. In early 2000, he was diagnosed with malignant mesothelioma, a disease commonly resulting from exposure to and ingestion of asbestos fibers. In April 2000 Graves filed this suit against Riverwood International Corp., the then-current name of the mill, and 13 other companies that allegedly made or supplied asbestos products used in the mill over the years. Graves's claims were based on negligence and strict liability. In June 2000, Graves died; his widow and two adult children filed a first supplemental and amending petition substituting themselves as parties plaintiff, and naming Olin as the owner of the mill.
