Drywall finishers are at risk for contracting an asbestos-related disease such asbestosis because they may have inhaled asbestos fibers while sanding hardened joint compound that contained asbestos.

In the past, asbestos was used in building materials including plaster, drywall tape and drywall joint compound.

Although asbestos has not been used as a component of drywall products since the 1980s, asbestos-containing dust may be generated during wall repair or demolition of buildings constructed before 1980.

From shipfitters, pipefitters and demolition workers, to those toiling on railroads and in construction, Weitz & Luxenberg has many clients whose needless and entirely avoidable exposure to asbestos ultimately led to them developing asbestos-related diseases.
