I worked directly with asbestos as a welder and am dying of respiratory failure.
Who can I sue?
Who can I sue?
I am very sorry to hear of your condition and hope you can maintain your good health for as long as possible. You can probably still jump on the asbestos lawsuit band wagon. I know others who have and received a payout.
I still have sheets of asbestos in my basement that I use for heat shields when I am soldering copper pipes. I typically wear a dust mask when I am using them. You can't get them anymore, obviously, so I treat them like gold. I did lots of welding and grinding while I was working as a millwright, and my work as a firefighter for decades also abused my lungs. My lung capacity is a fraction of what it once was but I have no idea what to blame because I have been involved in too many risky activities. My guess is that the silicon from grinding wheels and the wood dust from wood working operations have done the most damage. But I was also exposed to dangerous levels of harmful chemical vapors whenI was leading a Hazmat team... so who knows? I have made it longer than a lot of my forefathers and relatives who were killed doing hazardous duty or died from cancer or heart disease, so I feel lucky for every day that God gives me.
