An estimated 1.3 million employees in construction and general
industry face significant asbestos exposure on the job.
Heaviest
exposures occur in the construction industry, particularly
during the removal of asbestos during renovation or demolition.
Employees
are also likely to be exposed during the manufacture of asbestos
products (such as textiles, friction products, insulation,
and other building materials) and during automotive brake and
clutch
repair work.
What To Do If You Have Been Exposed To Asbestos
See a Doctor
If you think that you are at risk of developing an asbestos-related
disease, you should contact your physician immediately.
Seek Legal Counsel
There are strict deadlines for filing claims or lawsuits once
you are aware that you have an asbestos-related disease or after
a family member dies from an asbestos-related disease. You must
file your claim before the statute of limitations (deadline)
or you lose your rights.
If you think you or a loved one has an asbestos-related disease,
fill out the free
evaluation form and a member
of Toxic
Personal Injury Lawyers Network will contact
you within one business day. Whether or not the company that
you
worked with when exposed to asbestos has
filed for bankruptcy or has been bought by another company, you
still may get compensation.
