By Michael Throneberry, founder of Throneberry Law Group Asbestos floor tiles were widely used throughout the 20th century because they were affordable, durable, and heat- and wear-resistant. That is why you will still find them in many older homes, schools, offices, and commercial buildings today. The problem is, while these tiles might look harmless when they are in good shape, damage, aging, or improper removal can release dangerous asbestos fibers into the air.  At Throneberry Law Group, we work with people diagnosed with mesothelioma or other asbestos-related illnesses.

By Michael Throneberry, founder of Throneberry Law Group For decades, plumbers worked around asbestos without even realizing the risks. They often came into contact with this dangerous material while installing, repairing, or removing pipes and related parts. Unfortunately, asbestos exposure can lead to serious diseases like mesothelioma, years or even decades later. At Throneberry Law Group, we help people understand their rights after an asbestos-related diagnosis. Many former plumbers are surprised to learn that exposure from long ago can still support a compensation claim.
