Are you a ship dock worker who has developed asbestos disease? Get a free lawsuit review when you complete the form below.

A former dock worker who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma from asbestos exposure recently held a get-together with almost 100 old friends, according to Packet Newspapers on June 25, 2008.

The 61-year-old man, who worked as a fitter at the docks on and off for almost 20 years, was just diagnosed with the terminal cancer caused through inhalation of asbestos.

He began his career working as an apprentice fitter at the docks in 1962. That job exposed him to materials that had been made with asbestos.

During World War II, massive ship building and repairing took place.

The level of asbestos exposure sky-rocketed to unprecedented proportions.

At the time, people were unaware of the dangers of working with asbestos and asbestos products.

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.

Weitz & Luxenberg is a leading plaintiffs' law firm that has represented people affected by mesothelioma for over 20 years. Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
