Exposure to asbestos does not result in immediate illness. In fact, it can take several decades for asbestos exposure to result in diseases such as mesothelioma, which can make collecting proper compensation for your damages all the more difficult. You will want the counsel of an experienced New York asbestos attorney in order to obtain the maximum compensation owed to you.
Asbestos has amazing heat refracting properties, which made it a natural choice for the insulation of building materials for a large part of the 20th century. Even after the dangers of asbestos were known, many industries continued to use the material, placing workers of those and subsequent generations at significant risk.

Insulators who worked in the building trades from the 1940s through the 1980s most likely worked directly with asbestos. Many of these workers have died from mesothelioma and other asbestos-related illnesses. Others are just now facing the diagnosis. Victims who have been impacted in this way and surviving family members of those whose lives have been lost need a New York insulator asbestos exposure attorney to help see that rightful compensation is awarded.
Workers who are currently involved in the maintenance of asbestos insulted items or who are responsible for the removal of these dangerous substances are also at risk for serious consequences down the road. It is important that people in these fields use extreme caution when working in older buildings, and understand the symptoms of mesothelioma, enabling them to seek both medical and legal assistance should they contract this deadly disease.
