Asbestosis victim asks court to permit claim for benefits

A Libby man whose lungs were damaged from nearly 20 years of working in a vermiculite mine should be allowed to file for worker's compensation benefits despite a state law that says otherwise, his attorney told the Montana Supreme Court on Wednesday.

Bill Hardgrove, 75, claims he was wrongly denied benefits after he learned he had asbestosis in 1998 - 14 years after he quit the mine.
