Asbestos Workers’ Compensation Claims Lawyer

Many of the workers’ compensation claims handled at Brayton Purcell LLP concern disabling or life-threatening health problems from workplace exposure to asbestos. Insulators, shipbuilders, pipefitters, plumbers, electricians, railroad workers, and auto mechanics are just some of our clients who were exposed to asbestos. We have also represented people who did not work directly with asbestos-containing products or materials but were exposed to airborne asbestos on the job because of unsafe working conditions.

Asbestos-related diseases typically do not develop until decades have passed from the initial asbestos exposure. It can take anywhere from 5–70 years to develop an asbestos-related disease, like mesothelioma. Usually, you will be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits even if your on–the–job asbestos exposure occurred long ago.

You may file a workers’ compensation claim even if your asbestos exposure took place during the course of private employment. You may also have a case against the manufacturers and suppliers of the asbestos products involved as well as other entities that disturbed asbestos in your presence. These are two separate actions. Because of our extensive experience with asbestos litigation, the asbestos workers’ compensation lawyers at Brayton Purcell LLP can effectively manage both actions.
