Asbestos Lawyer Austin: Helping you get what you deserve.
Mesothelioma
It may be called a workplace disease or an environmental disease. However, there is little doubt that Mesothelioma is an asbestos-caused disease treated far too lightly by authorities. Workers, who have devoted their lives to asbestos-bearing environments, pay far too high a price for their long years of work and we have the expertise to take on industry regarding this controversial disease.
Some defendants try to prove the “worker knew” about the risks involved in working with asbestos. However, those risks were only recognized about 25 years ago. There are many workers who could still be contributing members of society who have had their careers cut short by this disease.
The legal staff at our law firm has the know-how to take on these firms so that you can get the reward you deserve. Our experts include litigators with years of experience representing clients who have suffered this little-highlighted disease.
Lung Cancer
The same is true of asbestos-caused lung cancer. Take the auto industry, for example. It is only in the last 15 years or so that disc brakes have become standard on many cars. These brakes are made of non-asbestos bearing materials. Before that time, asbestos was a major part of a braking system whether it was a drum brake/shoe system or a disc/caliper system. Too many people who worked in and around the auto industry knew of this danger and now they are facing the consequences.
Yes, many times companies will try to move the finger of blame to cigarettes or other environmental causes. Our experts and litigators will show the relationship between asbestos and lung cancer. We will work to get you the reward you deserve to not only protect yourself but also your loved ones.
Asbestosis
Finally, there are the other workers who have been exposed to asbestos-bearing environments without knowing it. Many buildings were torn down in the 1980s and 1990s that had asbestos-wrapped pipes or ceiling tiles. The question is how many workers on these jobs knew that you needed special equipment and permits to do this work? From the look for the building booms that have happened over the last 20 years, it seems very few as the number of cases of asbestosis have climbed. Our law firm has been there to lead the way so that those who are guilty pay.
