Old hospital rife with crumbling asbestos, said family of x-ray tech with mesothelioma.

Our firm is often contacted by men and women whose occupation placed them in contact with asbestos. Such was the case with a hospital X-ray tech worker who family said she was exposed to large amounts of asbestos as a young woman. She later died after contracting mesothelioma lung cancer.

The woman, who was just 60 when she died, was exposed to asbestos at a hospital in the 1960s while when she worked in the X-ray department.

Her husband said she had been required to retrieve film and other items from a “very dusty and confined, stuffy room.”

He said his wife had lived a fit and healthy life, and never smoked, but last year developed mesothelioma.

Many X-ray technicians and other hospital workers have come forward to say their work environment led to a diagnosis of mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer from asbestos.
