Sheet metal workers

People working with sheet metal were required to spend the majority of their time on construction sites infested with asbestos due to its heavy use in manufacturing construction materials.

Claim Evaluation

Metal sheets needed to be installed by the workers and, in order to do that, they had to drill into asbestos-containing cement releasing millions of microscopic particles into the atmosphere. The structures, on which metal sheets were applied to, contained building materials contaminated with this toxic mineral as it was heavily used for its low costs and heat-resistant properties.

The exposure didn’t stop at the working site as asbestos dust was brought home on the clothes of the workers putting their families at risk of developing asbestos-related diseases like mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis, and other respiratory illnesses as well.

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 Mesothelioma Throat Cancer Esophageal Cancer Bronchial Cancer Gastrointestinal Cancer Colorectal Cancer

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.

How can we help sheet metal workers who were exposed to asbestos?

There was an extremely high risk of asbestos exposure for the people working in the sheet metal industry as materials contaminated with this mineral were all around the construction sites these workers frequented. For many of these people, this led to their health being affected by diseases like mesothelioma, asbestosis and other types of cancer.

If you contact us we can help you get screened in the fastest time possible in order for you to receive the proper diagnosis and treatment. Regarding the reparations you deserve, we will file claims with the trust funds of the companies that put you and your family in harm’s way. Furthermore, if you are a veteran who was exposed to asbestos as a sheet metal worker in the U.S. Military, we will also seek financial compensation from the VA.
