Asbestos Exposure in Shipbuilding and Steel Mills
Mesothelioma Attorneys Serving Clients Nationwide
From World War II to the 1980s, workers in all facets of the shipbuilding and steel industries were unknowingly exposed to high levels of asbestos. Instead of enjoying their "golden years," many of those men and women are now facing the ordeal of mesothelioma or disabling lung disease.
The Throneberry Law Office represents clients throughout the United States who have developed mesothelioma or asbestosis or lung cancer from their shipyard or steel mill days. We provide compassionate support for the traumatic diagnosis and aggressive representation to secure medical coverage and monetary damages from those responsible.
Shipyard Workers, Steel Workers and Power Plant Workers
Because of its insulation and fireproofing qualities, asbestos was widely used in shipbuilding, steel foundries, manufactured steel products and heavy construction:
- Power plant boilers and turbines
- Valves, pumps and gaskets
- Welding bibs and blankets
- Fire retardant coatings
- Pipe sealants and insulation
- Wiring insulation
The Throneberry Law Firm represents those iron workers and welders, machinists and mechanics, pipefitters, electricians and others exposed at private and military shipyards, steel mills, industrial mills and construction sites. We have also represented family members who developed mesothelioma from second-hand exposure to asbestos fibers brought home on dust-covered work clothes.
To cover the medical treatment costs and lost income, our lawyers vigorously pursue compensation through every avenue: lawsuits against manufacturers and employers, VA disability benefits for Navy veterans, and occupational disease or death benefits through workers' compensation.
Legal Advocacy and Personal Service for the Hard Times Ahead
Attorney Michael Throneberry has first-hand experience with mesothelioma from his own father's death from the swift-moving cancer. We work quickly and diligently to identify the work sites and specific exposures to file lawsuits as promptly as possible so that our clients do not have the added burden of financing medical care.
We take cases nationwide and we will travel to you. Call today for a free consultation at 888-356-0346 if you or a loved one has symptoms or a diagnosis of mesothelioma or asbestos-related occupational disease.
