If you worked in a skilled trade, served in the U.S. Navy, or worked at an industrial facility before 1983, you may have been exposed to asbestos and may be eligible to pursue compensation.
For decades, asbestos was commonly used in industrial facilities, construction materials, ships, machinery, insulation, and other products because of its resistance to heat and fire. Many workers encountered asbestos as part of their everyday jobs without realizing the potential health risks.
People who worked in skilled trades, the U.S. Navy, manufacturing plants, steel mills, oil refineries, chemical plants, power plants, shipyards, paper mills, and other industrial settings may have worked around asbestos-containing materials. Exposure could occur directly while handling these materials or simply by working near others who disturbed them.
Asbestos-related diseases can take many years to develop. A diagnosis of mesothelioma or certain cases of lung cancer today may be connected to asbestos exposure that occurred decades ago.
Because of this long delay, where you worked, the type of work you performed, and when you worked there can all be important when evaluating a potential asbestos claim. You do not necessarily need to remember the name of a specific asbestos-containing product to start the process.
If you or a loved one was diagnosed with lung cancer or mesothelioma within the last three years and worked in the trades, Navy, or an industrial environment before 1983, answering a few questions about your diagnosis and employment history can help determine whether you may have a potential claim.
