Texas Asbestos Secondary Exposure Lawyer Jason Coomer has worked on several primary and secondary asbestos exposure claims including mesothelioma claims and other asbestos disease claims.  Secondary exposure claims include asbestos claims by the spouses, widows, and families of asbestos workers including insulators, pipefitters, ship builders, refinery workers, construction workers, asbestos abatement workers, maintenance workers, and other asbestos workers who received exposure to asbestos fibers and dust that were brought home on the clothes of asbestos workers.  Many family members were unknowingly exposed to asbestos fibers and have breathed in fibers causing mesothelioma and other forms of cancer.

Asbestos Primary Exposure Claims

Common modern uses are as thermal pipe and boiler insulation, spray-applied fire proofing and sound proofing, floor coverings, ceiling tiles, roofing materials and "transite" pipe and sheeting. In the United States, asbestos became widely used in the early 1900s and its use peaked during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.  During this time millions of workers were exposed to asbestos products.  The workers that built many of our refineries, manufacturing plants, ships, chemical plants, and other infastructure during the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.  This included many pipefitters, insulators, refinery workers, pipefitter helpers, engineers, and other workers that worked along the Texas Gulf Coast.  During this time the petrochemical and ship building industry around Houston and Port Arthur were growing quickly as such workers in Texas City, Deer Park, Pasadena, and other small towns along the Texas Ship Channel were exposed to asbestos products. 

Despite wide spread use of asbestos many asbestos manufacturers and industry insiders became aware of the serious health issues surrounding asbestos in the 1930s and 1940s, but kept the information secret from workers and from the public. In the 1970s the Federal government stepped in and regulated the use of asbestos products. It is also now commonly agreed that exposure to asbestos can cause mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other health problems.

Asbestos Secondary Exposure Claims

Many families along the Houston Ship Channel were supported by workers that were exposed to high levels of asbestos fibers.  Many of these workers unknowingly brought asbestos fibers and asbestos dust home exposing their wives and families to toxic dust fibers that were inhaled.  These secondary exposure claims are becoming more common along the Houston Ship Channel area as more and more wives and widows of asbestos workers are now coming down with mesothelioma and other asbestos diseases.  If you are the spouse or family member of an asbestos worker and are experiencing severe symptoms including the following symptoms, you should be screened for asbestos diseases:

1) Shortness of breath, wheezing, or hoarseness.
2) A persistent cough that gets worse over time.
3) Blood in the sputum (fluid) coughed up.
4) Pain or tightening in the chest.
5) Difficulty swallowing.
6) Swelling of the neck or face.
7) Loss of appetite.
8) Weight loss.
9) Fatigue or anemia.
10) Fever, night sweat

 Other Asbestos Primary Exposure Worker & Construction Worker Claims

Today despite being better regulated over 1 million employees in construction and general industry face significant asbestos exposure on the job.  Many of these exposures occur in the construction industry, particularly during the removal of asbestos products in the renovation or demolition process.  Numerous construction workers are now dismantling many of the buildings and refineries that were built with asbestos products.  These workers are often not given proper respiratory protection and sustain heavy primary exposure from the demolition of buildings that cause asbestos fibers to be knocked into the air.  Many of these construction workers and abatement workers will have mesothelioma and other asbestos diseases in the future. Employees are also likely to be exposed during the manufacture of asbestos products (such as textiles, friction products, insulation, and other building materials) and during automotive brake and clutch repair work.

Asbestos Secondary Exposure is Still Occurring

The families and spouses of these hardworking construction workers that are tearing down asbestos filled buildings, refineries, and manufacturing plants are still receiving asbestos exposure from construction and demolition companies that do not take proper asbestos abatement procedures.  Wives and children of these construction workers greet their hard working husbands and fathers at home and unknowingly receive exposure to high levels of asbestos fibers that can cause mesothelioma and asbestos diseases later in life.
