LUNG CANCER NATIONAL INJURY COUNSEL

Asbestos Exposure Tied to Deadly Lung Cancer and Irreversible Lung Disease

For decades, asbestos was used in homes, ships, factories, and construction sites across the country — often without clear warnings. Today, growing evidence links asbestos exposure to lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other devastating respiratory diseases. If you’ve been diagnosed after years of working or living around asbestos, you’re not alone — support, medical resources, and legal accountability may be within reach.

Who Qualifies for Lung Cancer Settlements

Certain individuals affected by asbestos exposure may be eligible to pursue lung cancer settlements, depending on the facts of their case.

Eligibility may include:

  • Individuals diagnosed with lung cancer

  • Family members of someone who passed away from lung cancer

  • Estate representatives of a lung cancer patient

To determine eligibility, it is recommended to consult with a lung cancer attorney. Legal counsel can help identify asbestos exposure and demonstrate how it contributed to the diagnosis. Qualified attorneys can then negotiate settlements related to asbestos-related lung cancer to seek appropriate financial compensation

Jobs with high risk of exposure include:

  • Aerospace workers

  • Aircraft mechanics

  • Automotive technicians

  • Boilermakers

  • Cabinet makers

  • Carpenters

  • Coal miners

  • Chemical plant workers

  • Construction workers

  • Electricians

  • Firefighters

  • Military veterans

  • 9/11 first responders

  • Pipefitters

  • Plumbers

  • Power plant workers

  • Railroad workers

  • Shipyard workers and shipbuilders

  • Steamfitters

  • Union members

  • Welders

Military veterans account for a significant portion of asbestos-related disease diagnoses, with U.S. Navy veterans facing particularly elevated risk. For many years, asbestos was widely used aboard naval ships because of its resistance to heat and moisture.

Family members may also have been affected through secondary asbestos exposure. In some cases, asbestos fibers were unknowingly brought into the home on work clothing or uniforms, potentially exposing spouses and children.

Throughout the 20th century, asbestos was commonly used in a wide range of products, including building materials, vehicles, and industrial goods. As a result, many industries relied heavily on asbestos, leading to frequent exposure for workers across numerous job sites.

Individuals who worked in environments where asbestos was present may face an increased risk of lung cancer and other asbestos-related illnesses, even many years after the initial exposure.
