Asbestos was used in many industries until the mid-1970s. However, workers in the following industries faced a much higher risk of direct or indirect exposure to asbestos:
Even employees who did not work directly with materials that contained asbestos were at risk of being exposed, as asbestos fibers could become airborne and be easily inhaled by other employees at a factory or job site.
The use of asbestos in these industries is almost totally indefensible considering the fact that there was medical evidence as far back as the 1920s linking asbestos exposure to mesothelioma. Companies that continued to use this harmful mineral either knew or should have known about the danger.
That is why our Columbus mesothelioma attorneys will work tirelessly to investigate your claim to build the strongest case possible so we can obtain maximum compensation.
If you want your mesothelioma legal claim to have the best chance of success, you need to consult an experienced attorney in Columbus who can guide you through the legal process.

If we are unable to negotiate a fair settlement, given the damages you have suffered, we will not hesitate to take your case to trial to pursue justice. Our dedicated attorneys will always put your best interests at the forefront of everything we do.
