Reviewing BP Oil Workers’ Mesothelioma & Lung Cancer Claims

BP Oil plant workers at Toledo, Lima, Ohio facilities, and others around the country, were likely exposed to toxic materials like benzene and asbestos.
Asbestos was long considered the most effective industrial insulator, and was commonly used in oil plants because of its resistibility to extreme heat. In some cases, BP Oil plant employers decided not to take steps to protect workers from the dangers of toxins.
