Ronai & Ronai helps victims and their families receive compensation for their injuries in Mesothelioma and Asbestos cases. Asbestos Exposure - New York City Mesothelioma Lawyer
Asbestos is an extremely toxic material
found in many buildings and products—such as some types of insulation
materials, paints, and pipes. Significant exposure to asbestos can cause
a variety of health problems, including, at worse, several types of
cancer (including mesothelioma). As our society has realized this fact,
sources of compensation have become available for people injured by
exposure to asbestos, and for the family members of people who were
killed by asbestos-related illnesses.
Dangerous asbestos exposure
is most common among people who work in certain environments, including
construction sites, shipyards, and automobile repair shops. Today,
federal and state regulations require employers to educate workers about
the dangers of asbestos and to provide the workers with protective
gear. Unfortunately, many workers were exposed to dangerous levels of
asbestos for decades, and may develop asbestos-related illnesses that
become apparent only years after the exposure occurred.
In New
York, the 9/11 tragedy led to the release of vast amounts of asbestos
dust. Many New York residents were exposed to this toxic dust, and some
have suffered a variety of breathing problems and illnesses after that
exposure.
If you believe that you were exposed to asbestos, either
on the job or in other circumstances, you may qualify for free
screening and monitoring of your health. You may also seek compensation
for asbestos-related injuries from various companies that manufactured
and sold products that contained asbestos, or products that were
supposed to protect you from exposure to asbestos but failed.
