Can you sue your employer for asbestos exposure?
Mesothelioma, asbestos and asbestos lung cancer are almost always preventable illnesses. And the party to blame when someone contracts one of them is usually an employer. For decades, leaders in many industries and branches of government knowingly exposed workers to a dangerous carcinogen. If you were exposed to asbestos on the job, it’s likely you can sue.
Asbestos was once included in a wide variety of products, present in everything from coatings and sealants to gloves and lawn furniture. Thus workers in a wide variety of fields came into contact with it on factory floors and other workplaces. The professions at highest risk of exposure are construction worker, firefighter, industrial worker, power plant worker and shipyard worker. Asbestos insulation becomes torn and damaged in burning buildings, while asbestos was long used widely in ships due to the importance of avoiding fires at sea. Military and naval personnel were also widely exposed.
Can you sue your employer for asbestos exposure?
Suing an employer begins after a patient is diagnosed, or in the case of wrongful death lawsuits, after the person has died. The plaintiff and legal team must gather the facts of the case and begin legal proceedings before the statute of limitations expires. A legal expert can help guide the patient or their family and give them an idea of what level of compensation they can expect and what to expect from the legal process.
