A construction worker who toiled with asbestos-containing products 40 years ago said that he never knew about the dangers of asbestos, nor how it could threaten his family's health.

He contacted us to say his wife had recently died of mesothelioma after breathing in the asbestos fibers and dust while washing his work clothes.

Thousands of construction workers have died from diseases caused by work with — or near — asbestos without protection, according to OSHA.

Many people develop asbestos-related illnesses through second-hand exposure, for example, after coming in contact with asbestos fibers when washing the clothes of someone who worked with it. Such very specialized cases can be immensely difficult to prove, yet the law firm of Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. consistently prevails in such asbestos cases despite many obstacles.

We are a leading plaintiffs' firm that has represented people affected by mesothelioma for over 20 years. Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure or secondary exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
