Old Plant Workers Who Frequently Got Exposed to Asbestos Will Get Special Benefits
As per the recent official
announcement, old plant workers who joined before 1981 and frequently got
exposed to asbestos are to be given special benefits.
When these plant workers were exposed to asbestos and related substances on their work place, they attracted severe and life threatening diseases like mesothelioma, rectal cancer, colon cancer, stomach cancer, pharyngeal cancer, laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, and Lung cancer.
All the above diseases are one of the
causes of asbestos exposure for years. It was noticed that asbestos related
products were used for decades at Berkline Corporation.
When the asbestos exposure happened,
neither the employees nor the management were aware of it.

Asbestos is a mineral found naturally
in the crest of the earth. It's harmless when present in its natural state. But
it becomes harmful when it gets pulled or grounded up into some flexible fibers
for various purposes.
When these asbestos fibers are
inhaled, it happens such that microscopic asbestos fibers are permanently
affixed to body tissue.
As per the National Cancer Institute,
it generally takes somewhere between 10 to 40 years for these asbestos related
cancers to appear.
In order to take care of the victims
of cancers and their families, Federal Bankruptcy Courts have come forward.
They have asked asbestos manufacturers to set aside millions of dollars in
private trusts.
By making such kind of trusts, cancer
victims and their families can easily receive money against all the damages.
They can receive money by filling their claims.
In order to help them, Norris Injury
Lawyers have already announced the required initiative to assist Berkline
Corporation employees to receive all the viable compensation through these
asbestos trusts.
Also, please note that Cancer victims or the families of deceased victims who worked at the plant before 1981 may call 800-478-9578 for a free evaluation of their claim.
