Are you a longshoreman who has been diagnosed with an asbestos illness? We may be able to help you obtain a settlement.

You may be a longshoreman who job entailed a fair amount of exposure to asbestos.

Many longshoremen across the country have said there were in direct contact with large amounts of of asbestos when they would load bundles of asbestos onto the ships.

The materials they typically were exposed to have included asbestos–containing insulation and fireproofing materials.

This is because in decades past, these workers did not know about the health risks associated with asbestos.

As a result, no precautions were taken to prevent the inhalation of asbestos dust and fibers.

This, in turn, imperiled the health of those longshoremen. Many have told us their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.

If this has been your experience, we may be able to help.
