Father's steel plant work clothes led to daughter's asbestos death

Were you or a loved one exposed to asbestos on a relative's dusty steel plant work overalls? We can help families contending with lung cancer and mesothelioma.

In recent news, a woman's asbestos cancer was revealed to have been caused by her exposure to asbestos through her father's steel plant work clothes.

The woman, who was just 40 when she succumbed to mesothelioma cancer, had developed the disease despite never having been in first-hand contact with asbestos.

According to court documents, the woman indicated before she believed she was exposed to asbestos when she helped her father launder his steel plant work overalls.

She recalls him coming home from his job at the steel plant wearing dusty clothing when she was a child and helping with the laundry, which included his work clothes.
