Electric company workers have a right to seek lawsuit compensation for mesothelioma cancer.

In recent news, the family of a woman who died from malignant mesothelioma cancer are trying to track down co-workers at an electric company as they battle to win asbestos lawsuit compensation.

The woman was 69 when she was diagnosed with mesothelioma five years ago.

She died last month, aged 74, despite originally being given less than 12 months to live by doctors.

She was exposed to asbestos in the course of her employment at an electric company factory between 1967 and 1968.

Family members want to trace former colleagues who can confirm the nature of the work performed at the electric factory that would have brought her into contact with asbestos dust.

Reportedly, before she passed away, she was a bit disillusioned that no-one had taken responsibility for her contracting the and she insisted her that family continue to push for answers.

Mesothelioma is an incurable cancer of the lining of the lung caused by exposure to asbestos. The disease can lie dormant for decades.

Electric company workers are among those who risk exposure to asbestos in their occupation.

This is because electric wiring insulation, electrical panel partitions and electrical cloth can all contain asbestos.
