Asbestos Is a Mineral That Is Extremely Useful, But Also Hazardous.

The term asbestos refers to a group of related silicate minerals.

There are various types of asbestos. Different asbestos mineral forms have different colors, appearances and fibers.

Some types of asbestos are more dangerous than others, but all are hazardous.2

Asbestos Claims

The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has determined that asbestos is known to be a human carcinogen.

The EPA has determined that asbestos is a human carcinogen.3

Asbestos Claims

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that asbestos is carcinogenic to humans.4

Asbestos Claims

Even people who just shared a household with workers exposed to asbestos may also be at risk of exposure and asbestos-related illnesses.5

Asbestos is a highly durable fibrous mineral that resists:

  • Heat / Fire
  • Friction
  • Pressure
  • Electricity
  • Acids
  • Alkalis
  • Water (does not dissolve)
  • Sound

Asbestos is a highly versatile building material.

  • Asbestos fibers can be shaped, and even woven into cloth.
  • Asbestos can be sprayed on surfaces to make them fireproof.
  • Asbestos can be mixed with other building materials to make them stronger and more heat resistant.
That is why, for decades, asbestos was one of the most widely used building materials in the world.

Asbestos was used throughout industry and home in:

  • Buildings
  • Structures
  • Vessels
  • Machinery
  • Vehicles
  • Industrial and Home Products

The Environmental Protection Agency has stated that people can still be exposed to asbestos at buildings like worksites and even homes, because the amount of asbestos remaining is still unknown.6

But asbestos exposure can lead to major health damage, including fatal diseases.

Asbestos fibers are microscopic and easily inhaled.

The tiny asbestos fibers get stuck in the lungs.

Even people who just shared a household with workers exposed to asbestos may also be at risk of exposure and asbestos-related illnesses.

Researchers have confirmed “a consistent elevated risk of mesothelioma” in people who regularly washed the clothing of asbestos workers.7

The Legal History of Asbestos

If you worked with asbestos in the past, shared a home or vehicle with an asbestos worker, or have symptoms of asbestos-related illness, speak to a healthcare professional.

The Law Offices of Justinian C. Lane, Esq. – PLLC

Millions of workers and their families were exposed to asbestos because the asbestos industry hid the dangers of its product.

Courts ordered that billions of insurance dollars be placed in trusts to compensate people with asbestos-related illnesses.

But many people with asbestos-related illnesses who were exposed to asbestos do not know they qualify for compensation.

Most can receive money without filing a lawsuit.

Justinian Means Justice

We have helped thousands of people receive compensation for health issues that they developed from asbestos exposure.

If you have symptoms of asbestos-related illness, speak to a healthcare professional.

Asbestos Claims

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) stated that people can still be exposed to asbestos at buildings like worksites and even homes, because the amount of asbestos remaining is still unknown.8

Asbestos Claims

Our firm constantly monitors the most up-to-date health research on asbestos. We use it to update our database to develop and strengthen our asbestos claims for our clients.

If you think you may have worked with asbestos, we can check your worksite or the products you worked with on our database.

Asbestos never leaves the body.

Asbestos can cause these health problems even if your asbestos exposure took place forty or fifty years ago. Symptoms can take decades to appear.

Applying for asbestos trust fund compensation is not getting into a fight.

This money was set aside in a trust account for those who were injured.

Applying for a payment from these trusts is not affecting any company or coming out of anyone’s pocket. This is insurance money which was specifically set aside to help people hurt by asbestos.

The court ordered the funds because the asbestos industry could no longer hide its secret: asbestos is very dangerous to breathe.

Meet Justinian C. Lane, Esq.

My grandfather, grandmother and father were all exposed to asbestos in their work, and all three died of respiratory-related cancers.

I found out too late about the health effects of asbestos to help them.

But my firm has helped many other people receive compensation for health problems they developed from exposure to asbestos.

Call, text or email us for a completely free consultation with no obligation. I will listen to the details of your story, and explain your options. We only work on contingency, so we only get paid if you do.

Every case is different, but the Law Offices of Justinian C. Lane, Esq. – PLLC has obtained large settlements for thousands of people harmed by asbestos. This compensation has helped ease our clients’ financial burdens, and offers a legacy to leave for their loved ones.

At AsbestosClaims.Law, we’ve helped thousands of people who were exposed to asbestos in their job, car or at home.

Can we help you?
