Did being a railroad car worker cause mesothelioma or another asbestos illness? We can help you gain compensation for your injury

An ex-railroad worker who died from mesothelioma cancer, had worried his work would make him sick, reported the Derbyshire Evening Telegraph on September 1, 2008.

The man reportedly commented on the dangerous nature of his railroad job a few months before his death at 62.

He had been a railway apprentice worker in 1961, building railroad cars that he thought were insulated with asbestos.

After being diagnosed malignant mesothelioma, he searched his memory for the physicals that were conducted at his job.

He remembers one man arrived at the plant to check the air quality. It was then that he became concerned about how harmful the environment was.

Sadly, he trusted his employer would look after its workers and not place them in harm's way.

According to the Telegraph, the railway company provided him with overalls and gloves – but not masks or breathing equipment.
