Are you a mechanical engineer with mesothelioma? Seek settlement compensation with our lawyers.

A retired mechanical engineer died of mesothelioma more than 30 years after first being exposed to deadly asbestos fibers, reported the Evening Telegraph on August 29, 2008.

The mechanical engineer, who was just 60, is one of many workers who succumbed to the industrial disease mesothelioma long after first coming into contact with the material.

The man had been a mechanical engineer in a plant described as being “riddled with asbestos”, from 1969 until the mid ’70s.

As has been the case with many employers who allowed their workers to toil unprotected, the man was exposed to asbestos at a time when it was already known to be a carcinogen to humans.

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