Maine Mesothelioma & Asbestos Lawyers
Asbestos Exposure in Maine
Shipbuilding is a tradition that dates back more than 400 years in Maine. Shipbuilding also ranks among the most dangerous industries in America for exposure to asbestos, a material which once was considered vital to the building of and operation of these ships.
Shipbuilding caused the biggest issue for asbestos risk in Maine, but anyone who worked in paper mills, power plants, or iron foundries many have been exposed. Unfortunately, many of the families of workers at the sites listed below also have an increased risk of developing cancer because of the asbestos fibers that were carried home on the body and clothing of those workers.
Statistics for Mesothelioma Cases in Maine
Maine ranks 27th in the US for asbestos-related deaths. There have been 433 deaths from mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer between 1999 – 2013.
Filing an Asbestos Claim if You Live in Maine
You do not have to file your claim in the state in which you live.
It’s far more important to contact an attorney with a strong history of experience specifically in asbestos cases, than it is to select one who happens to be in your area of Maine. The most successful attorneys in your area may have never handled an asbestos case.
