Claim Evaluation

Southern Company Services employees exposed to asbestos

Exposure to asbestos occurred at the power plants belonging to Southern Company Services before 1980 when this carcinogenic mineral ceased to be used in the electric utility industry. One of the primary roles of asbestos in power plants was to shield machinery and equipment from high temperatures, as the mineral is resistant to extreme heat. Furthermore, asbestos would cover this machinery and equipment to increase their durability and lifespan. Asbestos was also employed for its fireproofing properties, which is why insulation that contained it was lining machines and pipes.

One way Southern Company Services employees would come in direct contact with asbestos was when they had to cut through insulation made with the mineral in order to fit it to the equipment. Cutting through a material that contained so much asbestos was bound to release toxic fiber into the air that workers would inevitably breathe in. It is important to note that, in old power plants, outdated equipment that has asbestos in it may still exist, posing a considerable danger to current employees. The following occupational groups were exposed to asbestos during the last century by Southern Company Services:

Consequently, if you held down any of these jobs at Southern Company Services before 1980 and came to suffer from a disease as a result of asbestos exposure, you should give our legal team a call, as you may be eligible for compensation. We specialize in assisting former industrial workers in recovering financial compensation for the diseases they developed following asbestos exposure, and if you choose to work with our law firm, you can rest assured that we will be relentless in pursuing the maximum sum of money available for your diagnosis.

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

If you lost a family member to a disease stemming from occupational asbestos exposure who had not filed a claim themselves while they were alive, our experienced legal team will help you recover compensation on their behalf.

There are numerous people whose health was severely affected by workplace asbestos exposure who fail to seek compensation during their lifetime, as they often think that the legal process will be very complicated. Nevertheless, this could not be further from the truth, as filing a claim for toxic exposure is very easy nowadays. To be able to file a wrongful death claim for a deceased family member, you will have to provide our legal team with their employment and medical records, as well as with their death certificate. Our team will strive to get the maximum compensation available for your loved one.
