Railroad workers with mesothelioma are far too common. Sadly, asbestos material has been a part of the world of railroading since the years just after railroads began in the eighteenth century. Railroad workers with mesothelioma are far too common. Sadly, asbestos material has been a part of the world of railroading since the years just after railroads began in the eighteenth century.
Until the 1990s, both railroad companies and manufacturers used asbestos insulation on the mains, pipes, boilers, brakes, gaskets, and the electrical and heat insulation in the walls, ceiling, and flooring of railway cars. Many thousands of railroad workers were exposed to asbestos during this period, and research has proven that the prevalence of mesothelioma in railroad workers is associated with this exposure to asbestos.
Although railroad industry leaders allegedly knew the truth about railroad workers and asbestos exposure for decades, use of the toxic material only ended when hundreds of lawsuits against railroads and manufacturers of asbestos products were filed by railroad workers.
If you are a railroad worker exposed to asbestos in the course of your work, and if you subsequently have developed mesothelioma, you may have a case at law against these negligent railroads and/or railroad equipment manufacturers.
