Asbestos Exposure Claim Review
This site is secure and confidential
Why Asbestos was used in products?
While asbestos was once known for its qualities, such as fire resistance, durability, and insulation properties, it can trigger severe health conditions after long-term exposure. People who have worked around asbestos may contract lung cancer, mesothelioma (a type of cancer that affects the linings of the abdomen and lungs), or asbestosis (a chronic lung disease).
Most of the harm caused by asbestos results from inhalation of the mineral. Therefore, your risk increases if you are exposed to the material for a longer time and if the amount you inhale is higher. Even if you had a low level of exposure, the material is dangerous because of its buildup in the lungs over time.
What is needed for strong asbestos claim?
- You or your loved one must also have been diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer, after being exposed to asbestos or asbestos containing materials
- Collect any documentation to help to us link your asbestos exposure to your diagnosis.
- We will put together an organized timeline of your asbestos exposure.
- With our database of proprietary information on asbestos manufacturers we will help to determine who was responsible for the exposure to asbestos—typically an employer, landlord, or product manufacturer—and prove that they failed in their duty to protect you or your loved one from asbestos exposure.
It isn’t always easy to know if your case qualifies. Talking to an experienced asbestos lawyer will help you better know if you might have a claim that could be successful.
The process of gathering documents and medical records can be just as tricky as figuring out if your situation qualifies in the first place. Again, an asbestos attorney can walk you through the process to help you build your case and seek compensation.

What is Asbestos and why is it dangerous?
Asbestos is a group of naturally occurring fibrous minerals formerly used in construction for insulation, fire resistance, and strength. It is dangerous because when disturbed, it releases microscopic, needle-like fibers that, when inhaled, lodge deep in the lungs, causing severe diseases like mesothelioma and asbestosis.
In what types of products can asbestos be found?
Because of its unique properties: heat and fire resistance, high tensile strength, poor electrical conductivity, and chemical resistance, asbestos proved well suited for many uses in construction. It has been used in literally thousands of products. A partial list includes fireproofing, pipe insulation, floor tile, sheet flooring, ceiling tiles, acoustical plaster, fume hood panels, laboratory countertops, select fire-resistant siding shingles, roofing materials, brake shoes, gaskets, and construction mastics.
