The jurors linked Paul Gill's cancer to benzene exposure during his work in the 1970s as an auto mechanic and service station attendant.A Philadelphia jury sided against ExxonMobil and awarded $725.5 million on Thursday to a former Pennsylvania man who contended he suffered from leukemia due to benzene exposure during his work in the 1970s as an auto mechanic and service station attendant.
According to the suit, Gill worked at an ARCO station in Painted Post, N.Y., in 1974; an auto garage in Hamilton Valley, Pa., from 1975 to 1980; and at a dairy farm in Lindley, N.Y., from 1986 to 1994. Those jobs took place before Exxon and Mobil merged in 1999. AML starts in the bone marrow and often quickly moves into the blood, according to the American Cancer Society. It can spread to other parts of the body including the lymph nodes, liver, spleen, central nervous system, and testicles.
