Flexitallic Gasket Company employees exposed to asbestos
As the name implies, Flexitallic Gasket Company, nowadays headquartered in Houston, Texas, is a business specializing in the production of static sealing products. While the gaskets manufactured by the company today are completely asbestos-free, they did not use to be the same throughout the last century, which has later prompted over 150,000 former workers to file personal injury claims against it. Since asbestos is highly resistant to fire, as well as a very durable raw material, it proved to be the perfect ingredient for gaskets. However, with wear and tear, these products would unavoidably become friable, easily releasing toxic asbestos fibers in the air. Therefore, the health of both Flexitallic Gasket Company employees and consumers was at stake.
The occupations at the highest risk of developing a serious disease as a result of asbestos exposure which may have occurred either through working at Flexitallic Gasket Company or working with their products are:
- factory workers
- steamfitters and pipefitters/utilitiesmen
- machinists
- steelworkers
- aircraft workers
- railroad workers
- hull maintenance technicians
Considering the fact that asbestos-related diseases may take a long time to develop, it's extremely important that anyone who has a history of asbestos exposure regularly monitor their health. In the interest of promoting the importance of early diagnosis, we are offering screenings free of charge for Flexitallic Gasket Company employees.
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
The surviving family members of a worker who developed a disease as a result of occupational asbestos exposure but has not taken legal action during their lifetime are also eligible for compensation. With over 25 years of experience in pursuing compensation for the victims of asbestos exposure and their family members, our attorneys will help you recover the money you deserve on behalf of your loved one. While it is very complex, the legal process requires minimal involvement on your part, as the majority of the aspects, such as the claim and the documents which must accompany it, will be efficiently handled by our legal team. If you have a family member who lost their lives to a disease that was caused by workplace asbestos exposure, do not hesitate to contact our law firm for quality legal assistance. It is important to know that, because we work on a contingency fee basis, you will not have to pay anything unless we recover compensation for you.
