Asbestos Exposure in New Mexico

New Mexico gains a lot of economic benefit from its energy production and manufacturing plants. These plants have also created a risk to workers over the years due to asbestos-related materials that are present in facilities and used in products. Energy plants such as Four Corner Power Plant and the San Juan Powerhouse are specific firms that have an elevated risk of asbestos exposure.

Unfortunately, many of the families of these workers 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 New Mexico

New Mexico ranks 38th in the US for asbestos-related deaths. There have been 224 deaths from mesothelioma and asbestos lung cancer between 1999 – 2013.

Filing an Asbestos Claim if You Live in New Mexico

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 New Mexico. The most successful attorneys in your area may have never handled an asbestos case.

SWMW attorneys dedicate the overwhelming majority of their time and effort prosecuting mesothelioma claims, so we know which states and jurisdictions are going to provide the best outcome for your case and can get your case settled faster. We handle asbestos cases all across the USA, so we know how to file, where to file, and what to do to get you the compensation you deserve.
