Power Plant Workers With Asbestos-Related Cancers May Seek Legal Recourse With Our Law Firm.

In recent news about the dangers of asbestos exposure, a man who worked at a power plant lived just long enough to file a mesothelioma lawsuit.

His widow is carrying on the legal fight in his memory.

Reportedly, her husband worked in power plants throughout his life.

During that time, according to court records, he was exposed to asbestos, specifically during the installation and maintenance of several boilers which used the material as insulation.

He was diagnosed with mesothelioma in September 2005, a form of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos, according to court files.

He died a year later at the age of 67.

Unfortunately, asbestos was widely used in power plants to provide thermal insulation for steampipes and turbines.

As a consequence, workers in those power plants have shown a higher than expected death rate due to malignant mesothelioma.

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