Why Should Companies that Made Asbestos Products Compensate Me?

Asbestos fibers are often invisible, and many people were exposed to asbestos without knowing it. Workers inhaled these invisible fibers that became imbedded in their lungs. Unfortunately, many spouses and children of workers also inhaled these fibers from their loved one's clothing. Evidence now shows that most asbestos companies knew about the dangers of asbestos long before they tried to protect their workers and families. These companies did not inform workers of these dangers or offer protective clothing.

It is now clear that many companies deliberately chose to protect their profits rather than their employees. Manufacturers of asbestos products could have easily warned workers simply by putting warnings on product packages or labels. Workers went to work every day, not knowing that exposure to asbestos could cause mesothelioma. It is important that companies who caused this needless suffering are held accountable; they must pay the victims and their families for their suffering to ensure that companies do not neglect their employees' health again.
