If a job with Exxon Mobil caused asbestos cancer, our lawyers can help you file a claim.

The family members of an Exxon Mobil employee who died of lung cancer, have brought a lawsuit, alleging the corporation exposed their father to asbestos, which caused his disease, according to the Southest Texas Record on September 8, 2008.

The man was reportedly employed as a pipe-fitter and welder and was exposed to toxic materials including asbestos dust and fibers.

The family contends that Exxon Mobil knew for decades that asbestos-containing products could cause asbestos-related cancer, yet still allowed their employees to work with the products.

According to the suit, Exxon Mobil failed to warn of the dangers of asbestos in the workplace, failed to take safety precautions and failed to provide training to ensure that the deceased was not exposed.

In their role of maintaining pipes, some pipefitters unknowingly implemented materials such as asbestos tapes, canvas, and paints that were designed to seal and insulate pipes.

During the use of these asbestos materials, many pipefitters probably inhaled asbestos fibers.

This, in turn, imperiled the health of those pipefitters. Many have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.
