Daimler Chrysler employees exposed to asbestos

As a company with a rich history, Daimler Chrysler made no exception when it came to employing asbestos in the manufacturing of automobile components such as brake and clutch linings. The deadly mineral had been present in their automobile products for nearly four decades and even though company executives were aware of the danger, they chose to conveniently turn a blind eye to the issue. Because occupational asbestos exposure may take up to 50 years to result in illness, it was only recently that a significant number of former Daimler Chrysler employees developed harrowing diseases.

The occupations at the highest risk of developing a serious disease as a result of the asbestos exposure which occurred at Daimler Chrysler are factory workers and mechanics. However, veterans may also have been exposed to asbestos products manufactured by Daimler Chrysler, particularly those who served in the U.S. Navy as the majority of ships were constructed using asbestos products. In addition to brakes, these were the most common asbestos products manufactured by Daimler Chrysler during the last century.

The family members of Daimler Chrysler workers might have also been in contact with toxic asbestos fibers

Sharing the same dwelling with someone who works with asbestos on a day-to-day basis entails tremendous health dangers. Unfortunately, during the last century, people were oblivious to this aspect due to the great lengths companies went to hide the awful health effects of asbestos exposure from both their employees and the general population. As a tragic consequence, numerous people have come to suffer from a disease as a result of secondary asbestos exposure several decades later. The most common ways family members would indirectly inhale or ingest carcinogenic fibers were by laundering the worker’s asbestos-laden clothes and by greeting them upon returning home, as oftentimes, they were covered in visible dust.

The family members of asbestos workers are also entitled to financial compensation from the liable company. Since 1990, we have been recovering the money asbestos victims deserve and we will provide you with quality legal assistance and representation as well.
