Have You Inhabited the Same House as a National Gypsum Company Worker Before 1970? If So, Your Health Might Also Be in Danger

Willing to make financial profit at any cost, asbestos companies decided to exploit their workers by hiding the disastrous consequences asbestos exposure could have on their health. Company executives, including those at National Gypsum Company, went to incredible lengths to distort the result of reputable medical studies and cover up the number of employees who were getting sick from regularly inhaling asbestos dust. Given the circumstances, it should not come as a surprise that they were not preoccupied at all with the safety of workers. Accordingly, people who handled asbestos were not provided with protective equipment to wear on the job and they were not required to change their clothes at the end of their shift either. This is how asbestos fibers made their way in the houses of workers, endangering the health of their families.

Secondary asbestos exposure, which occurs when one breathes in or swallows toxic fibers without being in direct contact with the source, has become responsible for nearly 10% of asbestos-related deaths within the past three decades and new victims still emerge every year. If you shared a living space with a family member who worked at National Gypsum Company before 1970 and have a diagnosis of lung cancer or any other disease correlated with asbestos exposure, we strongly encourage you to take legal action at your earliest convenience. A lawyer specialized in asbestos cases will provide you with the assistance you need to recover fair compensation for your injury. Because it is also the asbestos trust fund of the company which pays out money to victims of secondary asbestos exposure, the legal process will be completed significantly faster than a regular lawsuit and will not require litigation.
