Asbestos Is Legal and Still Has Its Defenders

Due to the fact that asbestos has been proven to be extremely deadly to humans many people would likely assume that the substance has probably banned at a federal level. For well over a century both manufacturers and governments in the Western world have known that asbestos exposure can cause such deadly diseases as asbestos related lung cancer and mesothelioma. However, as will be seen in the following video, asbestos is not illegal in the United States.

This video shows that, despite the dangers, there are nevertheless those who would continue to have asbestos used in industrial and manufacturing processes. The argument goes that there are several kinds of asbestos – which can be broken down into two categories: asbestos which is safe for humans and asbestos which is unsafe for humans. But, as the doctor at the end of the video duly notes, even those kinds of asbestos which some claim are safe have been linked to asbestos related diseases in the past.

It could be argued that the faulty opinions of many experts continues to contribute to the dangers faced by those who continue to work with asbestos. If you have been diagnosed with any of these conditions, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. To find out how we can help you recover for your asbestos related claim, contact the Law Office of Brayton Purcell, LLP  at  (800) 598-0314 immediately, or contact us online for a free consultation.
