Did Construction Work Lead to An Asbestos Cancer? Consider a lawsuit to obtain compensation.

People who worked in the construction industry when asbestos was commonly used as a building material, should keep a close eye on their health. Some are moving forward with asbestos lawsuits after experiencing health problems.

A man whose father died at 67 from the asbestos-related cancer mesothelioma, is urging construction workers to have physicals if they experience breathing problems or sudden tiredness.

He spoke in court after the death of his father from mesothelioma in August 2007. He said his father had been a fit, healthy man who never drank or smoked. The lawsuit seeks to obtain financial compensation for the harm asbestos caused his family.

He said men who had worked in the construction profession should be on the alert for symptoms and those in the medical profession should be mindful of the risk of mesothelioma and other asbestos cancers.

His father had worked as a carpenter for more than 40 years, installing asbestos roofs, among other construction jobs.

After he retired, he started complaining of pain in his arms and was diagnosed with mesothelioma.

Many construction workers have come forward to say their work or home environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer or another one of the cancers associated with asbestos.
