Did you work in steel manufacturing and develop an asbestos-related cancer? Talk to our attorneys.

Recently, a man formerly employed in steel manufacturing wrote to say he developed an asbestos-related cancer.

The man had worked in a steel manufacturing job where asbestos blankets were used to keep heat from dissipating too quickly from heavy plates.

They were used extensively for heating large plates of steel.

The blankets, he said, were dragged around, pulled and thrown.

Unfortunately, those blankets were formerly made with asbestos fibers and were very hazardous to the health of workers when the fibers became airborne.

Last year, he said, "I was diagnosed with an aggressive type of cancer and underwent surgery and treatment.

He was writing because he could no longer pay his mounting medical bills.

He decided to take legal action against the employer that had exposed him to asbestos.

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