Can I Collect In A Mesothelioma Case If I Owned The Roofing Company Where I Was Exposed To Asbestos In New Orleans?

How A Small Business Owner Can Receive Compensation For Asbestos Exposure In Louisiana

Roofers and others who work in construction are at a higher risk of developing diseases like mesothelioma. They are also at risk at developing other asbestos-linked diseases.

It’s a reality that the construction industry is widely comprised of small, owner-operated enterprises.

Having spent your life building your business, you are now forced to deal with the impact of spending years exposed to asbestos. Things like shingles and roofing materials exposed you to these cancer-causing fibers.

When you and your crew removed existing roofing and installed new roofing, all of you were likely inhaling countless numbers of these toxic fibers.

As the owner of the business that exposed you to asbestos, is there anyone you can turn to for the compensation you deserve?

The answer is that yes, there are likely sources from which compensation can be sought, including the manufacturers of the asbestos-containing materials and the companies that produced asbestos in the first place.

Because these industries understood the risk their products posed but didn’t disclose those dangers to their consumers and the general public, many companies have been found to be liable in the wave of mesothelioma cases that struck workers and the family members of workers.
