Company / Manufacturer

Allied Signal, Inc. / Bendix Corporation

Allied came to life in 1920, after the merger between five companies involved in the chemical industry and by 1928, the company became one of the most important producers of ammonia worldwide. In 1962, Allied acquired different gas and oil properties by purchasing Union Texas Natural Gas. Another asset acquired by the company was an aerospace and automotive company by the name of Bendix Corporation in 1983. A merger valued at $15 billion happened years later between Allied Signal and Honeywell, a developer and supplier of advanced technology products. Some of Allied Signal’s subsidiaries used asbestos in manufacturing their products. Bendix made use of this toxic mineral when producing their automotive friction parts putting the lives of mechanics everywhere at risk.

Claim Evaluation

Allied Signal, Inc. employees exposed to asbestos

During the last century, Allied Signal, Inc. made use of asbestos in large amounts, as the mineral has numerous convenient properties, such as excellent resistance to fire, electricity and a wide range of chemicals. Furthermore, it was also very cheap at the time. As a manufacturer of automotive friction products, Allied Signal, Inc. was another company that employed asbestos for its remarkable durability throughout the last century. The occupations at the highest risk of developing a serious disease as a result of exposure to the asbestos products of this company are:

Despite asbestos being formally classified as a human carcinogen by federal agencies such as EPA starting with 1971, the company did not cease using the mineral after it acquired Bendix Corporation – a renowned developer and manufacturer of brake pads – in 1983. It was only in 2003 that Bendix Corporation gave up asbestos use for good. Therefore, if you were employed at either of these companies, we advise you to keep a close eye on your health, as you were inevitably exposed to asbestos on the job.

Asbestos related cancer eligible for filing a claim

If you developed one of the following cancers as a result of occupational exposure, you are eligible for compensation. If you are too ill, a family member can help you with the legal process. In the unfortunate event that you pass away before recovering compensation, your surviving family members will receive compensation on your behalf.

If, however, you struggle with non-cancerous pleural diseases such as asbestosis, pulmonary fibrosis, pleural plaques, pleural effusion, diffuse pleural thickening, COPD (emphysema & chronic bronchitis), pleurisy, lung nodules, lung spots, asthma, pneumonitis, tuberculosis, rounded atelectasis or lung scarring, please seek a second or even a third opinion as the rate of misdiagnosis is very high among the victims of asbestos exposure.
