Laborers: You have a right to seek a financial settlement award for your asbestos disease.

We now know that laborers are at a high risk for developing asbestos diseases. This is because the many products they worked with contained asbestos, a known carcinogen.

Construction laborers work mainly with concrete products, and as a support craft in carpentry, bricklaying, and drywall. All of these duties placed laborers in direct contact with asbestos dust and fibers.

A laborer does all line and grade for highway projects and the placement of concrete on roads and bridges. They also set up transit and lasers for storm and sanitary pipe, and install water mains.

Laborers also remove asbestos materials, hazardous and toxic waste, and lead abatement.

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