Before it was legislated out of use, asbestos was used widely as a cheap and efficient insulator and fire retardant. Asbestos was used in thousands of commercial products, from construction materials to clothing. Decades after exposure to these products and materials, the devastating disease mesothelioma may develop. Since asbestos was only eliminated from most products in the late 1980s, new cases of asbestos-related illnesses are being diagnosed every day.
The Throneberry Law Group travels nationwide to investigate the connection between asbestos diseases and the specific products and materials containing asbestos that you may encountered over your life. Our attorneys work fast to document the known or likely exposure to bring suit against asbestos suppliers, product manufacturers and companies that exposed workers to asbestos products despite the known hazards. We are often able to identify the specific product responsible for your illness, even the model or year of that product, and match it to a specific period in your life or work history.
