Asbestos Company Litigation
It has been clearly established that many of the corporations
which manufactured asbestos insulation in the 1940's, 50's,
60's and early 70's knew it was hazardous but
kept this information secret, choosing profits over safety.
We recover compensation from companies who manufactured various
asbestos-containing products. The legal basis of these suits
is the asbestos companies' failure to warn consumers and workers
about the hazards of asbestos. It has been proven that some
of these companies have known about the hazards of asbestos
as far back as the 1920's. This has been established through
internal company documents, through testimony of company employees,
and through medical literature which they had access to.
Over the following 40+ years the industry made billions of
dollars manufacturing asbestos insulation for almost every
building, industrial site, home, school, ship, car, plane,
pipe, etc. in America.
Contrary to popular belief, it is still legal to sell products
that contain asbestos.
Many construction workers and industrial tradesmen prior to
the mid-1970's were exposed to dangerous
levels of asbestos, which they inhaled, as asbestos insulation
was being cut, sawed, mixed or sprayed. These workers were
never warned about the dangers of asbestos and considered
it harmless. They were never given masks or ventilation, nor
were dust counts ever taken.
By holding the asbestos industry accountable we help workers
and their families recover compensation for mesothelioma and
other diseases and death caused by asbestos. The goal is financial
security for families.
