Yarway Corporation employees exposed to asbestos
Catering to the steam-power industry, Yarway Corporation, which was initially known as Simplex Engineering Company, had been using asbestos in their products for as long as six decades before the mineral was subjected to strict regulations. In addition to valves and gaskets, the company also manufactured expansion joints and steam traps, as well as automatic boiler skimmers, all of which would contain large amounts of toxic asbestos fibers. While thousands of former workers have already developed awful diseases as a result of occupational asbestos exposure, numerous other Yarway Corporation employees are expected to fall ill in the near future, as the risk never diminishes.
The occupations at the highest risk of developing a serious disease as a result of the asbestos exposure which occurred either at Yarway Corporation or through working with their products are:
Considering the fact that asbestos-related diseases may take a long time to develop, it's extremely important that anyone who has a history of asbestos exposure regularly monitor their health. In the interest of promoting the importance of early diagnosis, we are offering screenings free of charge for Yarway Corporation employees.
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.
