The first thing you should do is reach out to experienced New Orleans mesothelioma lawyers.
They can help you go through your work history and see if you were unknowingly employed in jobs or work sites that are known sources of asbestos.
Many companies were swept up in scandals after it became clear that they had known working with asbestos had a negative impact on workers’ health.
They failed to inform them of these risks or provide them with any sort of protection for their airways while they worked.
Because of this secrecy, companies have been held accountable.
Unfortunately, many workers still aren’t aware that they were employed in dangerous working conditions.
Many who were at risk worked at factories, refineries, shipbuilding plants, or in military jobs like engine repair and construction.
Because mesothelioma is only caused by asbestos, the fact that you’ve developed the disease means that you were exposed.
Finding out where and when this happened is the first step toward holding the people who caused it responsible.
If you’ve been diagnosed with mesothelioma in New Orleans, an experienced mesothelioma lawyer can walk you through the steps to get the compensation you need.
