We have wonderful clients we’ve been honored to represent that generally worked the whole
spectrum of trades. From shipyard workers, electricians, pipefitters, plumbers, to executives
that once upon a time worked around asbestos - who might have had a summer job. Or in the
most extreme cases, we have individuals who never themselves, worked with asbestos, but
someone in their family did. A father can bring home the asbestos on his clothes, which
they do if they were routinely exposed and that asbestos becomes embedded in the carpet,
the curtains, and the home that he lives in and the whole family is exposed at home. He
gets a double dose and they get a single dose that is sufficient to cause a disease with
a long, long latency like mesothelioma that can be diagnosed 20, 30, 40, even 50 years
later.
