Are you an apprentice who has been diagnosed with mesothelioma from asbestos on the job?

The St. Clair Record reported on August 18, 2008 that a Georgia carpenter's apprentice diagnosed with mesothelioma has filed a lawsuit against dozens of companies, saying they did not warn him about the health risks linked to working with asbestos.

According to the article, the man said he was employed from the late '40s to the mid-90s as a carpenter's apprentice, deck hand, truck driver, laborer, fabricator and instructor at various locations across the United States.

He claims that while employed at the various defendant companies, he inhaled asbestos fibers from the products he worked with and around.

Sadly, this situation, where exposure to asbestos was easily preventable, is all too familiar to the mesothelioma attorneys in the Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. Asbestos Litigation unit.
