Asbestos Exposure at Work
Despite being a known carcinogen, asbestos was used in thousands of products across commercial, industrial, and residential settings throughout much of the 20th century. Dozens of industries and every branch of the U.S. military utilized asbestos-based products.
Asbestos was a popular choice for industry executives because it was cheap and naturally resisted heat, fire, and electricity, which made it an ideal material for many different kinds of products.
As a result, asbestos exposure at work can occur across many different sectors and trades.

As a result, thousands of workers, service members, and their families were put at risk of serious, potentially fatal asbestos-related diseases, like:
- Mesothelioma
- Lung cancer
- Asbestosis
Potentially, yes. If you or a loved one were diagnosed with an asbestos-related disease after working around asbestos, you may be eligible to take legal action to secure financial compensation.
