ASBESTOS & PAPER MILLS
Paper mill workers have a right to be compensated for an asbestos-related illness

Recently, a man with asbestosis contacted us, saying he had worked in a paper mill with a construction company from Birmingham, Alabama back in 1984.

He said, "I was very young and didn't know what I was getting into. After working at the paper mill, I started having breathing problems and I've had them ever since."

He recalled that the paper mill's boiler room was covered with asbestos.

"That is what we were removing from the building," the man said, adding, "Nobody ever told us that stuff was bad for us."

Many people who worked in paper mills have come forward to say 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.

For over two decades, Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. has handled some of the most legally complicated and groundbreaking asbestos litigation in the country. Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure or secondary exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
