Alcoa Worker With Mesothelioma Files Asbestos Claim For Compensation. Contact us if you have been harmed by asbestos.

In recent news about the dangers of asbestos exposure, a man who worked at Alcoa's Rockdale operations for 25 years, is suing the company because he has mesothelioma.

He believes he developed the disease because of the Alcoa's use of asbestos as insulation.

The former Alcoa employee worked with aluminum superheated to 800 degrees.

The man, who is 77, has mesothelioma, which is caused by breathing in asbestos dust. He said he was exposed to asbestos while working at the Alcoa plant in Rockdale.

He worked at the job from the mid-50s to early 80s, laboring in intense heat in a job where asbestos was an integral part of the day’s work.

In decades past, asbestos was used in almost all facets of the production of aluminum.

It lined pipes, pot lines and the brakes of the crane Alcoa employees sometimes operated.

Now the former Alcoa employee has filed a lawsuit and blames the company for his condition.

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