The Link Between Mesothelioma and Asbestos The health hazards of working with asbestos have been known since the early 1920s. However, the corporations that manufactured and profited from the sale of asbestos-containing products did not advise workers of the dangers of asbestos. As a result, many Americans have unnecessarily and tragically contracted mesothelioma.
Asbestos has been used hundreds of different industries, including mining, shipbuilding and construction. Many homes, businesses and schools contain asbestos in insulation materials. Among those at greatest risk of contracting mesothelioma are workers handling or installing insulation, shipyard workers, factory workers, and electricians. Those workers also put their family members and loved ones at risk through second-hand exposure when asbestos clings to their clothing.
With the obvious injustice in the asbestos-related workplace, Belluck & Fox, LLP has dedicated its practice to protecting the rights of mesothelioma victims and their loved ones.
