Asbestos Exposure: Ohio Cancer Claims

Asbestos Cancer Lawyer Investigating Chardon Electrode Corp Toxic Exposure

Workers around the nation have been exposed to asbestos and countless other toxins, while corporations failed to protect their health. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer, pulmonary fibrosis, asbestosis, adenocarcinoma, angiosarcoma or other occupational cancers, you may seek compensation.

In response to a confidential employee request, a toxic material evaluation was begun by the EPA into possible exposures in the shipping, receiving, anode washing, pre-coating, etching, plating, coating, and post-coating departments and the coating laboratory at Electrode Corporation in Chardon, Ohio.

To no surprise, samples contained chrysotile asbestos. The investigation concluded that workers were overexposed to n-butanol in the coating area, perchloroethylene in the degreasing area, and nickel in the plating area. According to the EPA assessment, there was a potential health hazard to workers in the pre-coat diaphragm area from anodes contaminated with asbestos, and to workers in the plating area and coatings laboratory from titanium exposure.

What Kind of Damages Are Available in an Electrode Corp Asbestos Lawsuit?

In a lawsuit related to asbestos exposure in an asbestos factory job, various types of damages may be available to the injured party, depending on the specific circumstances of the case and the applicable laws in their jurisdiction.

Asbestos exposure can lead to serious health problems, including mesothelioma, lung cancer, and asbestosis, among others.

The damages sought in such lawsuits typically fall into the following categories:

  • Medical Expenses: This includes past and future medical bills, hospital stays, surgeries, medication, and other healthcare-related costs.
  • Lost Wages: If the exposure led to the victim missing work or being unable to work in the future, they may be entitled to compensation for lost earnings.
  • Pain and Suffering: This category encompasses the physical and emotional distress and suffering caused by the asbestos-related illness.
  • Punitive Damages: In cases where the defendant’s conduct is deemed especially reckless, intentional, or egregious, punitive damages may be awarded. Punitive damages are meant to punish the wrongdoer and serve as a deterrent to prevent similar conduct in the future.
  • Wrongful Death Damages: If the asbestos exposure leads to the death of the victim, their surviving family members may file a wrongful death lawsuit. Damages in such cases may include compensation for the loss of the deceased person’s financial support, companionship, and more.

It’s important to note that asbestos-related lawsuits can be complex, and the specific damages available will depend on the facts of the case, the jurisdiction, and the strength of the evidence presented.

It’s advisable to consult with an experienced attorney who specializes in asbestos litigation to understand your rights and options. They can help you determine the appropriate damages to pursue and guide you through the legal process.

What Does an Asbestos Injury Lawyer Do for Your Case?

An asbestos injury lawyer, also known as a mesothelioma or asbestos attorney, plays a crucial role in helping individuals and families who have been affected by asbestos-related illnesses. 

Here’s what an asbestos injury lawyer typically does for your case:

  • Legal Counsel and Guidance: An attorney provides legal advice and guidance on the best course of action based on your individual circumstances. This may include whether to file a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, where to file it, and how to approach the legal process.

  • Negotiation: Asbestos injury lawyers often negotiate with defendants and their insurance companies to reach a settlement that compensates you fairly for your injuries. They strive to secure a settlement without going to trial if it’s in your best interest.

  • Litigation: If a settlement cannot be reached, your attorney will represent you in court. They will prepare and present your case, cross-examine witnesses, and make legal arguments on your behalf.

Overall, an asbestos injury lawyer is a crucial ally in your pursuit of justice and compensation if you’ve been affected by asbestos exposure.
