Did you experience asbestos exposure in one of your jobs? Complete the form below for a free lawsuit review.

"An estimated 1.3 million employees in construction and general industry face significant asbestos exposure in their jobs. Employees are also likely to be exposed during the manufacture of asbestos products (such as textiles, friction products, insulation, and other building materials) and during automotive and clutch repair work."--Occupational Safety & Health Administration, osha.gov

Certain jobs place people at higher risk for exposure to asbestos dust. These occupations include the manufacture of all asbestos products, construction and ship-building industries.

Asbestos dust exposure also occurs in asbestos end-product use occupations such as:

  • Asbestos insulation
  • Brake repair
  • Maintenance
  • Steel
  • Pipe fitting
  • Tile work
  • Boilermakers
  • Shipfitters
  • Building demolition
  • Asbestos abatement

    Important: Even if your job does not expose you to asbestos dust, you may still be at risk for developing an asbestos-related illness if you live with someone whose job places them at risk. Learn more.

    Many workers 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.

    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.
