Motor Machinist Files Lawsuit for Asbestos Compensation With Our Mesothelioma Lawyers.

Recently, a man with mesothelioma contacted our firm about a potential lawsuit. He had served in the United States Navy as a 2nd Class Motor Machinist during World War II.

Motor machinists in the Navy operate machine tools and maintain internal combustion engines. They also overhaul engine auxiliaries, and supervise engineering repairs.

Unfortunately, many types of the equipment motor machinists worked with helped cause cancer or lung disease because they historically contained the fire-retardant asbestos material.

Asbestos exposure was especially prevalent for service members such as motor machinists since it was used throughout ships and machinery from the 1930s through the 1970s.

Pipes, gaskets, and many other ship parts and machinery contained asbestos.

Motor machinists who served on a ship were likely exposed to asbestos, and many now have mesothelioma or another asbestos-related cancer.

If this has been your experience, we may be able to help.

For over two decades, Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. has handled some of the most legally complicated and groundbreaking asbestos litigation in the country.
