Today despite OSHA regulations it is estimated that 1.3 million United States employees in construction and general industry face significant asbestos exposure on the job. Heaviest exposures occur in the construction industry, particularly during the removal of asbestos during renovation or demolition. 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.

Although certain occupations have a higher risk of asbestos exposure, many of us will be exposed to asbestos. It is no wonder that over 600,000 mesothelioma claims have been filed in the U.S., and that number is steadily increasing. There are factors to consider when filing a claim, such as a state's statute of limitations; and one must be able to identify the source of asbestos exposure, the party responsible, and the damages suffered in order to have legitimate claim. It is important to seek legal advice if considering filing a mesothelioma claim. The mesothelioma claim information I provided can be found here.
