Alaska Mesothelioma Cancer Lawsuits

Alaska Mesothelioma Lawyer

In Alaska, asbestos exposure and subsequent mesothelioma lawsuits have become significant concerns. Workers in industries such as shipbuilding, construction, mining, and manufacturing have been exposed to asbestos, often without proper safety precautions. The widespread use of asbestos in insulation, construction materials, and machinery has led to occupational exposure among workers across various job sectors.

Over the years, numerous cases of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases have emerged among individuals who worked in Alaska’s industrial settings. These diseases typically manifest decades after initial exposure to asbestos fibers, making it challenging for affected individuals to pinpoint the exact source of exposure.

In response to the health risks associated with asbestos exposure, mesothelioma lawsuits have been filed by affected workers or their families seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. These legal actions often target negligent companies that failed to provide a safe working environment or adequately warn workers about the dangers of asbestos.

Mesothelioma lawsuits serve not only to hold accountable those responsible for asbestos exposure but also to raise awareness about the ongoing health risks associated with asbestos in Alaska and beyond. Additionally, these legal actions underscore the importance of implementing stringent safety regulations and providing support for individuals affected by asbestos-related diseases in the state. Efforts continue to address asbestos exposure risks and ensure the well-being of workers and communities in Alaska.

Asbestos Cover up – Quotes from Asbestos Executives

Evidence in thousands of court documents have shown that asbestos companies hid and destroyed memos, documents and ignored doctor’s medical reports about the dangers of asbestos exposure. Despite all of the information about the deadly dangers of asbestos exposure available in the scientific and medical literature asbestos companies chose not to take any action to protect workers.

They chose profit over the safety of their workers and then lied and covered it up. This is why U. S. Courts are making asbestos manufacturers and companies pay millions to asbestos victims for their asbestos cover up.

  • “…if you have enjoyed a good life while working with asbestos products, why not die from it.” 1966 memo from an executive of the Bendix Corporation (now part of Honeywell)
  • In early 1940s, the president of Johns-Manville called the managers of another company a bunch of fools for notifying employees who had asbestosis.” When asked by another company executive, Do you mean to tell me you would let them work until they drop dead? he responded, “Yes. We save a lot of money that way.”

Mesothelioma has been medically linked to workplace asbestos exposure.


Alaska Veterans and Asbestos Exposure

Alaska Veterans Mesothelioma LawsuitsMilitary Veterans that have a 1 in 3 chance of developing an asbestos related disease in their lifetime. Veterans have the right to bring lawsuits against negligent asbestos companies for exposing them to toxic asbestos-containing products and materials.

There are 21.5 million current living Veterans according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Veterans who served between 1940 and 1970 have the greatest risk of developing Mesothelioma or an asbestos-related cancer. Navy Veterans who served during World War II and the Korean War have the highest incidence of Asbestos-related diseases.

The U.S. Military used thousands of asbestos-containing products in their ships between the 1920-late 1970’s. 14 in every 1,000 WW II shipyard workers died of an asbestos-related disease compared to 18 in every 1,000 combat related deaths.

  • Mesothelioma primarily occurs in Veterans between the ages of 55-75.
  • Asbestos was listed as the top contaminant at 32 U.S. Army base closures during the 1990s.

Asbestos Trust Funds and Mesothelioma Claims

U. S. Asbestos Bankruptcy Trusts Funds have paid out nearly 21 billion to more than 600,000 asbestos claimants. There are about 60 active Asbestos Trust Funds with an estimated $32 billion in remaining assets.

Asbestos Settlement Trusts were established to help compensate workers and their families for asbestos exposure causing Mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases. When an Asbestos company establishes a Trust Fund all settlements are managed by trustees that decide the compensation amounts paid to Mesothelioma claimants. U. S. Courts allow Asbestos defendants to file for protection under a legal process known as bankruptcy reorganization. This allows the company to pay claims and stay in business.

Asbestos Trust Fund settlements typically do not come with an admission of guilt by the asbestos company that set up the trust.

If you have a history of asbestos exposure you should be checked each year by a qualified doctor.

Alaska Workers and Residents Have the Right to Sue Manufacturers that Exposed them to Asbestos.


Asbestos Exposure in Alaska

Asbestos was used heavily in U. S. building trades between 1930-1980. More than 3,000 commonly used products in Alaska contained toxic asbestos fibers and materials.

Alaska Workers and Residents that were exposed to asbestos are at higher risk (7 times) than the general population for being diagnosed with Mesothelioma or an asbestos-related disease in their lifetime.

It can take 10-50 years after initial asbestos exposure before symptoms of Mesothelioma may appear. People that were exposed to asbestos in Alaska decades ago are walking time bombs. There is no clear way of knowing if a person will develop Mesothelioma, but most people diagnosed are around 70 years of age.

If you worked in an industry in Alaska that exposed you to deadly asbestos fibers a Mesothelioma lawyer can help you seek compensation for medical expenses resulting from a Mesothelioma cancer diagnosis.

When asbestos is disturbed, broken apart, cut, decayed, or damaged, it releases tiny asbestos microscopic fibrous particles that can cling to the skin, hair and clothing. These asbestos fibers are easily transferred to others where they can accumulate in the lining of lungs that cause Mesothelioma lung cancer.
