NARCO

NARCO employees exposed to asbestos

NARCO was without a doubt one of the leading manufacturers of asbestos-containing refractory materials during the second half of the 20th century, being also renowned for producing ceramics, brake pads, furnace fittings, and coating installations. However, the company’s relentless employment of asbestos, along with lack of appropriate safety practices – which could have at least minimized exposure – has led to over 300,000 former employees claiming financial compensation for the terrible diseases they developed as a consequence of NARCO’s negligence.

The occupations at the highest risk of developing a serious disease as a result of the asbestos exposure which occurred at NARCO are factory workers, pipefitters, ship serviceman and maintenance workers. However, veterans may also have also been exposed to asbestos products manufactured by NARCO, particularly those who served in the U.S. Navy. In addition to refractory materials, these were the most common asbestos products manufactured by NARCO during the last century.

Secondary asbestos exposure, a serious concern for the family members of NARCO workers

Secondary asbestos exposure was highly prevalent among the families of NARCO employees, as workers would often bring asbestos fibers in the house on their clothes, as well as on their skin and hair. There are multiple ways via which indirect exposure could have occurred, such as by shaking out and laundering asbestos-laden work clothes, in the case of women, or by greeting the person upon returning home, in the case of children. Over 10% of the people who struggle with mesothelioma developed it as a result of secondary asbestos exposure. Therefore, if you inhabited the same place as a NARCO employee, your health might now be at stake, since it takes between 10 and 50 years for a disease to occur when it comes to asbestos exposure.

If you were affected by secondary asbestos exposure, our highly experienced lawyers, whose primary area of practice is asbestos litigation, will gladly help you recover the compensation you deserve from NARCO’s asbestos trust fund. Whether your diagnosis is a non-malignant disease like pulmonary fibrosis or a form of cancer, Environmental Litigation Group, P.C. will provide you with quality legal assistance.
