If you or a loved one suffered asbestos illness or disease after being exposed to asbestos, you may be entitled to compensation from an asbestos exposure lawsuit or settlement claim.
A team of products liability injury lawyers and class action attorneys is investigating asbestos lawsuit cases and settlement claims of individuals who suffered injury after being exposed to asbestos.
Asbestos exposure typically occurs when individuals inhale or ingest asbestos fibers and particles that are released into the air when products or materials containing asbestos become worn down, distrupted or disturbed. Asbestos fibers are very light and can float in the air for long periods of time, sometimes as long as 2-3 days (or longer).
Asbestos Exposure Claims
Asbestos exposure claims potentially being investigated include claims of individuals who suffered asbestos related illness or disease from:
- Asbestos exposure at work
- Asbestos exposure in the military
- Using products that contain asbestos
- Other types of asbestos exposure
Individuals can be exposed to asbestos fibers while working with asbestos, working in the same space as others working with asbestos, from a worker’s skin, hair, and clothing, and/or working with or using asbestos-containing products, among other things.
Asbestos exposure can happen in older buildings or factories at work, in equipment used, maintained or repaired at a jobsite, in shipyards or vehicles used by military service members, or in older homes or schools.
Risk of Disease From Being Exposed to Asbestos
The risks of getting an asbestos related illness or disease typically increases as the amount or concentration of asbestos breathed in or ingested increases and/or as the length of time or duration of exposure increases. However, even individuals with only limited exposure to asbestos can develop asbestos-related diseases or illnesses (including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis, among others). In other words, there is no safe level of asbestos that one can be exposed to.
