Companies responsible for toxic exposure
112 companies that manufactured, sold, or used asbestos and other toxic products. If you or a family member worked for one of these companies, you may be eligible to file a claim against the responsible trust fund or company.
Hundreds of toxic substances were handled and manufactured in the last 80 years, the extent of occupational toxic exposure was disregarded and unknown at the time. The toxicity of numerous substances was not known or was purposefully hidden from employees, which is why today, a large number of former industrial workers and veterans struggle with cancer.
