California workers who suffered asbestos exposure on the job, in the home or in other locations may be at risk of developing mesothelioma cancer, asbestosis, or other diseases.
It can take 20-50 years after asbestos exposure before the first symptoms of mesothelioma or another asbestos cancers develop, meaning that workers who were exposed decades ago may only now begin to show the first signs of an asbestos-related disease.
If you or a loved one suffered believe that you were exposed to asbestos in the workplace, you may be eligible to receive a free asbestos health examination to find out if your health has been affected by asbestos.
To find out if you qualify for free asbestos testing, contact the lawyers at Hissey Mulderig & Friend by calling toll-free at 1-855-500-3734, or by filling out the free case evaluation form on the left side of this page.
