Working in or live near asbestos mills operations can lead to cancer. File a claim with our lawyers if you have been harmed.

“Asbestos mills” are businesses engaged in converting, or in any intermediate step in converting, asbestos ore into commercial asbestos.

Federal health officials have told residents that live near such mills that the waste asbestos fibers that had infiltrated their homes could, when inhaled, cause lung cancer.

Since the early 1940s, millions of American workers have been exposed to asbestos in the United States.

Health hazards from asbestos fibers have been documented by the government in workers exposed in shipbuilding trades, asbestos mining and milling, manufacturing of asbestos textiles and other asbestos products, insulation work in the construction and building trades, and a variety of other trades.

Demolition workers, drywall removers, asbestos removal workers, firefighters, and automobile workers also may be exposed to asbestos fibers.

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