Hawaii Mesothelioma

At The Throneberry Law Group, we are committed to providing tireless legal representation to people who have been diagnosed with mesothelioma. Unlike many other law firms, we have a personal connection to mesothelioma. Our principal attorney lost his father-in-law to the terrible disease, so we approach each case with an understanding of just how difficult losing a loved one to mesothelioma can be.

We have helped numerous people throughout Hawaii obtain the compensation that they deserve from the parties that exposed them to asbestos. Some of the clients that we have helped have lived in Hilo, Honolulu, Kailua, Kahului, Kaneohe, Pearl City, and Waipahu.

Unfortunately, many people who live in Hawaii are exposed to asbestos on a daily basis. While some people are exposed to asbestos in their homes, others are exposed to asbestos while on the job. Workers involved in shipping, agriculture, the military, and power plants are at significant risk of being harmed by asbestos. Even officer workers and school teachers are at risk of being diagnosed with mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure.

Due to its fire and heat resistant properties, many power plants used asbestos prior to the discovery that the substance caused several deadly types of cancer. As a result, asbestos can still be found in various pieces of heavy machinery including boilers, tanks, and turbines.

Much like power plants, oil refineries in Hawaii also utilized asbestos due to its heat-resistant properties. Today, oil refinery workers are still at risk of being diagnosed with mesothelioma. One of the locations in Hawaii where workers must be careful about exposure to asbestos is the Chevron facility located at Barber’s point.

Many workers in Hawaii’s maritime industry have been exposed to asbestos over the years because the material was once used as insulation in ships as well as in numerous pieces of machinery including boilers, gaskets, and bumps. One location in Hawaii where workers are known to have been exposed to asbestos is the Pearl Harbor Shipyard on the island of Oahu.

Asbestos-containing materials are encountered by many people on the islands of Hawaii on a daily basis. This is because asbestos was once used in many types of construction materials including insulation and floor tiles. It is important to understand, however, that asbestos is not dangerous unless it is disrupted. If asbestos is moved, however, there is a risk that fibers from the substance can end up in the lining of a person’s abdomen or lungs.
