Motor repair workers: Seek lawsuit information if you were exposed to asbestos on the job.

The government now warns motor repair workers that the risk of exposure to significant amounts of dust containing asbestos fibers may exist while repairs to brakes, clutches and high temperature gaskets on motor vehicles are undertaken.

There are many motor vehicles in use that still have asbestos containing brake pads/shoes, gaskets or clutch plates.

These parts may remain in the motor vehicles until replacement is required.

Therefore the potential for exposure to asbestos in motor vehicle repair shops will remain for some time until asbestos components have been removed from these vehicles.

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