People who developed a disease as a consequence of workplace asbestos exposure, which occurred between 1920 and 1980, are now eligible for compensation. If you worked at U.S. Pipe and Foundry and had to handle asbestos on the job, you were inevitably exposed to the toxic mineral, which increases your risk of developing a serious disease. It is worthy of note that diseases that are caused by asbestos exposure take 20 to 50 years to develop. Thereby, if you came to struggle with a disease as a consequence of occupational asbestos exposure, please contact our law firm immediately, as we can help you obtain the compensation you deserve for your injury. By filing a personal injury claim, not only will you recover the compensation you are entitled to, but you will also hold the liable company accountable for their negligent actions.

However, you need to keep in mind that asbestos exposure cases have a statute of limitations of 3 years from the moment of diagnosis in most states, which should prompt you to take legal action immediately.
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.
Lung Cancer MesotheliomaIf, 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
Oftentimes, victims of workplace asbestos exposure are reluctant to take legal action while they are still alive, usually out of fear of a long and complicated process. Nevertheless, if you lost a family member to a disease caused by asbestos exposure who had not filed a claim during their lifetime, we will help you file a wrongful death claim on their behalf so that you can recover the compensation you are entitled to from the liable company. Your involvement in the legal process will be minimal, as you will only have to provide your lawyer with the employment and medical records of your deceased loved one, as well as with their death certificate, which must state that they lost their life to a disease caused by asbestos exposure. Afterward, the remaining legal aspects will be efficiently taken care of by our skilled legal team. You will eventually recover fair compensation on behalf of your family member from the U.S. Pipe and Foundry. It is important, however, to keep in mind that wrongful death asbestos exposure cases have a statute of limitations of 2 years from the moment of death in most states, which should make taking legal action a priority for you.
