If your job as a roofer exposed you to asbestos and caused illness, you have a right to file a lawsuit.

A roofer who won compensation in a lawsuit after becoming ill through working with asbestos has died, according to the Argus Reader on July 12, 2008.

The 59-year-old man died on Friday at his family's home in England.

He was diagnosed with mesothelioma cancer in December 2006.

He was exposed to asbestos while fitting roofs and ceilings.

After his diagnosis, he opted to launch a lawsuit for compensation.

He contacted attorneys through a charitable organization and ultimately received compensation.

Sadly, this situation is all too familiar to the attorneys in the Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. Asbestos Litigation unit here in the United States.

We are a leading plaintiffs' law firm that has represented people affected by mesothelioma for over 20 years. Men and women diagnosed with asbestosis, mesothelioma or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure or secondary exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
