Workers at oil refineries were routinely exposed to asbestos in insulation, pumps, valves, boilers, and piping systems critical to refinery operations. Over time, this asbestos exposure at oil refineries sharply increases the risk of mesothelioma and asbestos-related lung cancer.
Because asbestos fibers can remain trapped in lung tissue for decades before symptoms emerge, many former refinery employees only develop disease long after leaving the job.
The extreme heat, frequent maintenance, and aging equipment typical in refineries amplify the danger of inhaling asbestos fibers during repair or demolition.
Oil refinery workers who were exposed to asbestos before 1982 and diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestos lung cancer may qualify to file a lawsuit and receive compensation.
Workers, their spouses, and adult children may also be eligible to receive a free asbestos health exam at no cost courtesy of our law firm.
