Furnco Construction Corp. employees exposed to asbestos
Because asbestos was a very common material during the last century with numerous convenient properties, such as durability and fire resistance, it was heavily employed by the construction industry to make their products last longer, as well as to insulate building materials. By incorporating raw asbestos in construction products without protective equipment, workers inevitably inhaled and ingested millions of toxic fibers that were released in the air by their activities. If you developed a disease as a consequence of occupational asbestos exposure, do not hesitate to contact our law firm, as we provide quality legal assistance and representation to victims of toxic exposure.

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
Oftentimes, people who developed a disease as a result of workplace exposure refuse to seek financial compensation from the responsible company, usually out of fear of a long and complicated legal process.

You will eventually receive the maximum compensation you qualify for if you choose to work with our law firm.
