More and more of the cases being diagnosed are of women and people who did not work in industries known for asbestos exposures. Studies have shown that wives who washed their husbands’ asbestos-covered clothing were also exposed. Children whose fathers worked in the industries with the greatest risks were also exposed from the dangerous dust and fibers that their fathers would bring home on their clothing. Grandchildren who hugged her grandfathers or sat on their laps when they came home from work they have also been exposed. Literally, the possibilities of second-hand exposures are limitless. Our firm is continuing to investigate these claims. If you know someone who may have developed a software disease, please have them contact one of our asbestos lawyers.
