Chemical Plant Workers

If you or a family member worked in a chemical plant, you may have been exposed to asbestos, which can cause mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer or cancers of the gastrointestinal tract. If you or a loved one developed an asbestos-related illness due to workplace exposure, you may be entitled to financial compensation.

At James F. Humphreys & Associates, L.C. we are experienced in these types of cases and we know how to get crucial evidence needed to build a strong argument on your behalf. Call us toll free or complete our online form for your free consultation. 

Asbestos in Chemical Plants

In chemical plants, asbestos was commonly used in insulation, pipes and plumbing, boilers, tanks, pumps and valves, protective clothing and construction. As a result, workers may have breathed in dust containing asbestos while performing their duties.

The dangers of asbestos were known for decades before it was regulated. Companies that knew of these risks, but did not alert workers or make their products safe, may be liable for resulting injuries, even if disease symptoms don’t appear for years. Our firm represents both workers and family members of workers who have died from asbestos-related illnesses in pursuing compensation.
