The case focused on Stephen M. Dodge, a longtime state employee who was exposed to airborne asbestos fibers both on the job and at home over the course of several decades. Dodge worked as a Manchester city custodian during the summer of 1967, cleaning and polishing asbestos-containing floors. He then spent 30 years from 1973 to 2003 as an analyst at the Department of Motor Vehicles headquarters in Wethersfield, a building that had asbestos materials everywhere and elevated concentrations of asbestos fibers in the air. In addition to work, Dodge was exposed to asbestos during childhood and early adulthood through products including grinding wheels, joint compounds, drywall, and insulation.
