North American Rockwell Corporation

Workers exposed to asbestos

The company, today known as Rockwell International Corporation, was one of the leading aerospace contractors of the country, manufacturing vehicles and spacecraft for the U.S. space program. Between 1967 and 1973, it operated under the name of North American Rockwell Corporation and was located in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Their employees were heavily exposed to asbestos, as the manufacturing of numerous automotive components required the use of asbestos. For this reason, former workers of North American Rockwell Corporation need to pay close attention to their health, as they are at high risk of developing a serious disease. In the regrettable case that you already struggle with a disease as a consequence of workplace asbestos exposure, please contact our law firm to recover the compensation you are entitled to.

Claim Evaluation

North American Rockwell Corporation employees exposed to asbestos

Mechanics are the occupational group employed by North American Rockwell Corporation with the greatest risk of developing a serious disease as a result of workplace asbestos exposure, as they would often have to install, maintain and repair automotive components manufactured with the toxic mineral such as brakes, clutches, and gaskets.

Eventually, you will receive the maximum compensation you are eligible for from the liable company if you decide to work with our law firm. However, it is important to know that asbestos exposure cases have a statute of limitations of 3 years from the moment of diagnosis in most states, which should make taking legal action a priority for you.

It is worthy of note that veterans may also have been exposed to asbestos by using the products of this company while they were serving in the military.

Secondary asbestos exposure, a serious concern for the family members of North American Rockwell Corporation workers

Occurring when a person inhales or ingests asbestos fibers from indirect sources, secondary asbestos exposure was very frequent among the family members of people who were regularly handling the toxic mineral on the job. Since they were not provided with adequate protective equipment, as asbestos was not acknowledged as a health threat, workers would often bring home dangerous fibers on their clothes, skin, and hair. Thereby, their wives would mostly be exposed to asbestos when laundering their work clothes, whereas their children would breathe in and swallow toxic fibers when greeting their father upon coming back home from the job. If you suffer from a disease you believe is the result of secondary asbestos exposure, we are here to help you recover the financial compensation you deserve. After you thoroughly explain your situation to our legal team, our attorneys will tell you with certainty whether you qualify for filing a claim to recover compensation. If you are eligible, they will promptly begin preparing your claim and the only documents you will need to send us are the employment records of your family member and your medical records. In the end, if you choose to work with our skilled legal team, you will obtain the maximum compensation available for your diagnosis from the liable company.
