If asbestos exposure on the job as a ship engineer caused lung disease, our attorneys can help.

In recent news about the dangers of exposure to asbestos, a ship engineer died after developing malignant mesothelioma – a lung cancer commonly caused by exposure to asbestos.

The ship engineer had reportedly been exposed to high amounts of asbestos while stripping and lagging ship piping at a shipyard.

Train and ship engineers were exposed to asbestos in the insulation of their vehicles and the lining that was used on machinery to keep them cool.

A family member reportedly said, "It is very cruel that while he was trying to earn a living, he was exposed to asbestos and died in that way."

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