Deadly exposure to asbestos
Mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining of the lung caused by exposure to asbestos. Sadly, it is almost always fatal and the cancer spreads aggressively after it manifests itself. A spouse can contract the disease through secondary exposure such as handling the laundry of a spouse who has already been exposed. Even though it has a lengthy latency period, death can come very quickly. Many of our clients or their family members have no idea about the identity of the manufacturer of the asbestos or dangerous product to which they were exposed. You may have been exposed to asbestos from a number of different products by multiple manufacturers of products such as gaskets, insulation, and fire brick. Contrada & Associates has the only extensive database in northwest Ohio of those products and their manufacturers. Our database, experience, and national resources help identify the manufacturers of the asbestos products in your area and at your jobsite.
Liable companies
Many asbestos manufacturing companies that have been found liable in mesothelioma cases are located in the immediate area and Toledo. While some are in bankruptcy, you are entitled to diligent advocacy if you have been exposed to a variety of manufacturing products at your job site. If your work site exposed you to asbestos through a product or large furnace, you need immediate representation to protect your rights against the asbestos manufacturers.
Building trades representation
We have represented clients from all major building trades, including asbestos workers, pipe fitters, ironworkers, cement finishers, laborers, masons, electricians, roofers, glaziers, painters, carpenters, plasterers, and insulators. We also have represented numerous United Auto Workers (UAW) members.
