Al Fleeman is on a mission to seek justice for his father, Albert Fleeman, who faced asbestos exposure during his 40 years at the Lake City Ammunition Plant in Independence, Missouri. Albert, a veteran who served as a tail gunner in the Navy, developed colon cancer linked to his time at the plant, where asbestos was prevalent before safety measures were implemented. Al learned about the potential for compensation through Norris Injury Lawyers, which has identified around 180 individuals with similar exposure histories. However, Al is struggling to obtain crucial medical records from the now-closed Park Lane Medical Center, complicating his claim process. David Norris, a partner at the law firm, emphasized the challenges in proving these claims, as illnesses often manifest 20 to 50 years after exposure. Despite these hurdles, Al remains resolute in his pursuit of justice, working with the Midwest Genealogy Center to locate necessary documentation. He hopes to raise awareness about asbestos-related risks and the existence of trust funds designed to support victims.
