Details: William S. Hays, a career U.S. Navy boiler tender, worked in the engine rooms of ships and at the Shore Intermediate Maintenance Activity facility in Mayport until his retirement from military service. His work kept him in close proximity to asbestos insulation and mechanical components that contained asbestos. He contracted mesothelioma and died in December 2009 at 68, Smith said.
The case in West Palm Beach was transferred to the multidistrict litigation court in Philadelphia a month after filing for joint pretrial proceedings. The Hays case was one of thousands filed by former Navy servicemen and civilian shipbuilders because asbestos exposure was common in several naval trades through the 1970s.
