Many disc pad grinders have asbestos diseases. We can help you gain compensation if you were harmed.

In their jobs as disc pad grinders, laborers typically tended a machine that smoothed and polished asbestos disk pads for brake linings.

The job required that they place disk pads on automatic feed tray of machine, and adjust the grinding head of machine according to specified thickness of polished pads.

Then, they would start the machine that automatically feeds pads through enclosed grinding and washing units.

Unfortunately, this work exposed them to the dust and fibers from asbestos, which is now known to cause cancer and asbestosis, a serious chronic lung ailment.

Many of these grinders labored unprotected; their employers failed to give them the proper protective masks and clothing required for asbestos-related work.

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