Electrician with cancer tells colleagues to beware of asbestos hazard

Are you an electrician with mesothelioma or lung cancer? Our lawyers can help you file a claim for compensation.

In recent news, a former electrician dying from cancer has issued a chilling warning about the dangers of asbestos.

The electrician is just on of hundreds who has an asbestos-related illness from working unprotected on the job.

He asks a simple question: "Why me?"

In 1975, he worked on a project which took three nights to complete.

His work involved tearing down ceiling sheets and knocking down walls.

He recalls there was dust everywhere. He was very concerned and spoke to the builder in charge, who reassured him it wasn't the asbestos dust he feared.

Yet, in June he was diagnosed with terminal cancer, decades after he was exposed.
