ASBESTOS METAL INDUSTRY
Metal industry workers with asbestos-related cancer are eligible to seek financial compensation

The enormous risk of asbestos exposure in the metal works industry often leads stricken workers to seek restitution through an asbestos lawsuit.

The law firm of Weitz & Luxenberg has protected the legal rights of asbestos-injured workers since 1986. Since then, the firm's mesothelioma lawyers have won several billion dollars in verdicts and settlements for clients injured by occupational asbestos exposure.

Asbestos dangers in the metal industry

January 7, 2010 - The metal works industry used asbestos everywhere for its fire-retardant properties, but played down the toxic effects asbestos has on factory workers.

To help protect against fire and extreme heat, asbestos clothing (such as pants, aprons, shirts, gloves, shoe covers and masks) was worn around the clock by factory metal workers. In addition, high-temperature equipment, such as furnaces, boilers, generators and pipes, was thickly lined with asbestos.

In the interests of saving costs, company executives often kept silent about the health hazards asbestos placed on their workers. Courts today recognize these deceptions and permit injured workers to seek adequate financial compensation for their illnesses and lost wages.
