Company / Manufacturer

Danly Machine Corporation

Specializing in the manufacturing of die sets, mechanical presses, supplies, and other metalworking machinery, Danly Machine Corporation was a company founded in 1922 and was located in Cicero, Illinois. In 1962, the business had roughly 2,000 employees. However, in 1999, a large part of the company was taken by Japanese imports, and the plant was permanently closed and torn down. After World War I, Danly Machine Corporation expanded to provide a choice of all-steel die sets or semisteel die sets and began using the torch-cut method of manufacturing. Sadly, the business is one of the numerous that exposed workers to asbestos during the last century. As a result, if you were employed at Danly Machine Corporation and are now struggling with a disease that may have a link to asbestos exposure, you should reach out to our lawyers, as you may be able to recover compensation.

Claim Evaluation

Danly Machine Corporation employees exposed to asbestos

People who work as tool and die makers use machinery to manufacture these products, which include instruments and precision metal parts that are meant to cut, shape, and form metal, as well as other materials. They create jigs and fixtures that hold metal when it is bored, drilled, or stamped and also gauges and other measuring devices. The dies are generally used to shape metal in stamping and forging processes. Tool and die workers produce metal molds for die casting and for molding plastics, composite materials, and ceramics, too.

Naturally, these employees handled metal directly. A lot of metal objects would contain asbestos between 1920 and 1980. When the workers disturbed or drilled holes in these products, asbestos dust would become airborne, and they would inhale tiny carcinogenic fibers. Moreover, asbestos exposure would also occur when they worked on machines that were insulated with asbestos. The following occupational groups were exposed to asbestos by Danly Machine Corporation:

factory workers
machinists
insulators
pipefitters
metalsmiths
plastic molders
millwrights
shipyard workers
welders

Furthermore, tool and die makers would often work with hot liquid, which meant that they had to use fire protection clothing such as aprons and gloves. This protective gear would ironically contain asbestos itself. Lastly, some tool and die makers had their job in shipyards, such as during World War II, when asbestos was notoriously present in those workplaces.

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.

Legal assistance in wrongful death asbestos exposure cases for family members

Unfortunately, many people who became ill as a consequence of occupational asbestos exposure fail or refuse to seek compensation during their lifetime. This is because they pass away earlier than expected or because they fear a never-ending legal process that would take up a lot of their time. However, if you have recently lost a family member to a disease caused by workplace asbestos exposure, filing a wrongful death claim will result in compensation that will prove very useful.

If you want to file a wrongful death claim, you should contact our legal team, explain your situation thoroughly, and send our experts the employment and medical records of your departed loved one, as well as their death certificate. We will carefully assess your care, and if we determine that you are eligible to file a claim, we will get to your case as soon as possible and begin working on your wrongful death claim. Eventually, you will obtain a part of the money your lost family member would have benefited from.
