Did work as a machinery technician cause asbestos disease? Our attorneys can help file a claim.

A former technician who worked for the machinery parts supplier Raychem Inc (now owned by TYCO) recently contacted us about his exposure to asbestos.

He was responsible for writing procedures for all formulas of responsibility, assisting the process engineer and working with customers to establish production guidelines processes.

He said he and his coworkers used asbestos to insulate plastic extrusion machinery so they could melt plastic at 1000 degs.

That asbestos exposure, however, had devastating consequences. He said the Veterans Association hospital found a pulmonary nodule in his right lung with a radiolgy CAT scan.

He says his doctors will continue to do more testing.

He was also a Navy serviceman before working for Raychem Inc as a process development technician.

He was fired for reporting unsafe working condistions due to the asbestos.

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