Johns-Manville & Asbestos

Johns-Manville employees exposed to asbestos

As a major manufacturer of asbestos construction products, Johns-Manville is without a doubt one of the most notorious companies which carelessly employed the hazardous mineral for their wide range of building materials. Over 600,000 claims have been filed against it by injured workers and family members so far, and the company was also the first to set up a trust fund in the U.S. Since 1988, the asbestos trust fund of Johns-Manville has paid out tremendous amounts of money to victims of exposure and still has approximately $2.5 billion for future claimants.

The occupations at the highest risk of developing a serious disease as a result of the asbestos exposure which occurred by working at Johns-Manville or with their products are:

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 Johns-Manville 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.
