Q: Who should be tested?
A: You or anyone with exposure to asbestos, or anyone
who thinks they have had exposure to asbestos, including your immediate
family members should be tested for asbestos-related diseases.
Q: What tests are required?
A: Initial testing requires a chest x-ray. Further
tests may include a pulmonary function test, blood work, and a physical
examination.
Q: What about my results?
A: Make sure to get your results in writing. If you
don't understand the report, talk to your doctor or contact us so
that we can help you.
Q: What trades and professions
are at risk?
A: Virtually all building trades and professions where
people came into, or may still come into, contact with asbestos. Those
who work in schools, hospitals, hotels, and other institutions may also
be at risk. Even family members of an exposed individual
are at risk. That's why it's so important to understand
your test results and your rights. We're here to help. Contact us today
if you have any questions on your exposure or your family's exposure.
Q: What if I worked for a company
that isn't in business any longer?
A: Some asbestos companies are out of business or have
filed for bankruptcy. However, you may still have a claim. Please
call us and we can advise you whether recovery may still be possible
in your case.
Q: My husband was exposed to
asbestos but is now dead. What should I do?
A: You may still have a claim. Please call us to find
out.
Q: My asbestos exposure happened
23 years ago. I'm not sure I can even remember many details of my exposure.
What should I do?
A: Almost everyone's exposure happened a long time
ago. It's one of the things that is challenging about these cases; the
disease takes a long time to cause noticeable symptoms. Please call
us to find out if you have a claim and how we might help you.
Q: I may have been exposed to
asbestos during a brief summer job. Am I still at risk for asbestos-related
disease?
A: Yes. Please call us to find out if you have a claim.

diseases, we would like to help.
