If you were diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer or asbestosis from your job as a welder, we can help.

Many welders have been exposed to asbestos on the job and decades later developed serious health concerns.

Research reports indicate that up to the early 1980s, welding rods were coated with a mixture containing 5% to 15% asbestos. Asbestos-containing welding rods, sold in the billions up to the early 1980's, have caused lung cancer and mesothelioma in untold numbers of workers.

Sadly, as the lawyers in the Weitz & Luxenberg Asbestos Litigation unit have seen through their work, this is a common example of people who were exposed to carcinogens simply because the powers that be failed to have in place routine safety measures.

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.
