If you or a loved one suffered from asbestos-related injury after being exposed to asbestos at work or on the job, you may be entitled to recover compensation from a work-related asbestos injury lawsuit case 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 claim they were injured after being exposed to asbestos at work.
Since the 1940s, tens of millions of workers in the United States may have been exposed to asbestos and asbestos fibers and potentially may have developed and suffered from asbestos related injury.
According to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), most people who become ill from asbestos are regularly exposed to asbestos at their job where they work with asbestos or through environmental contact.

Historically, workers engaged in the mining and milling of asbestos, the manufacuring of products that contained asbestos and/or the use of asbestos-containing products were the most likely to be exposed to asbestos and were at the highest risk of developing asbestos-related illness and disease. Due to the long period of time (e.g., ten to forty years) that it can take from exposure until injury, workers exposed to asbestos as far back as the 1960s and 1970s are now manifesting asbestos-related diseases.
Current Occupational Exposure To Asbestos
According to the CDC, most work-related exposure to asbestos now occurs during the repair, renovation, removal and/or maintenance of asbestos-containing products that were installed years ago. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), an estimated 1.3 million employees in building and construction trades are potentially exposed to asbestos on the job repairing, renovating, removing and/or maintening such asbestos-containing products.
