In recent news about mesothelioma compensation, the wife of a man who died from mesothelioma has launched a lawsuit for compensation against the company he worked for.

The man, who lived in New Jersey, was 61-years-old when he died from the asbestos-related lung cancer.

His widow is now suing his former employer, a demolition company.

She believes her husband, who loaded building debris from demolition sites at factories and buildings across the United States, may have been exposed to asbestos dust while working for the firm during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

She is now hoping former work colleagues of her husband will come forward to help her in the lawsuit for mesothelioma compensation.

Sadly, this situation is all too familiar to the attorneys in the Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. Asbestos Litigation unit.
