An asbestos cancer victim who has only months to live, is seeking compensation for his disease.

The 59-year-old spent the majority of his working life as a thermal insulation engineer and was exposed to asbestos.

Asbestos is commonly used as an acoustic insulator, and in thermal insulation, fire proofing and other building materials.

Many products in use today contain asbestos.

Asbestos has been used in various products since the 1900s and was considered an ideal material to use, since it resembles fibers such as cotton and wool in its pliability and softness, yet it is inflammable and acid resistant.

Many insulation engineers have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.

If this has been your experience, our asbestos lawyers may be able to help you receive compensation for your health problems.

For over two decades, Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. has handled some of the most legally complicated and groundbreaking asbestos litigation in the country, winning many millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements along the way.

Because of its cloth-like qualities, it can be woven and spun into fireproof garments.

Asbestos was also used in gas masks. It could be woven into sheets to act as insulation and thermal proofing for pipes, boilers, and electrical products.

The insulation engineer was diagnosed with pleural plaques in 2000. Last month, he was told he had developed the fatal asbestos cancer mesothelioma and has about six months to live.

He said: “When I was diagnosed with pleural plaques I panicked. I felt like my death certificate had been signed and I knew it would only be a matter of time before I was told I had mesothelioma. I’ve worried about it ever since."

He reportedly worked at several industrial sites during his career but was forced to give up work in January, as he now has very little strength and cannot walk far.
