Woman diagnosed with mesothelioma after doing laundry of family members who worked with asbestos.

The son of a woman who did the laundry for his father and grandfather contacted us because his mother had been diagnosed with mesothelioma. For years, she washed their clothes, which were covered with asbestos dust from their jobs as laborers.

"What if the company has gone out of business?," he asked, wondering if the family could be compensated for the harm asbestos caused them.

His mother had been exposed to asbestos in other ways as well.

The family's summer home, which was built by Bethleham Steel, was covered in asbestos. His grandfater, her father, ripped the home apart to update it, thus disturbing the asbestos and creating dust and airborne fibers.

In addition, his grandfather worked in the shipyards and in NYC buildings for many years doing renovations.
