Free Asbestos Case Consultation for IW Iron Workers

Speak with an experienced asbestos attorney at O'Brien Law Firm. Free, confidential case review for iron workers and their families with mesothelioma or...

If you or a family member worked as an iron worker — structural steel erector, rebar/reinforcing worker, ornamental worker, or rigger — at any time from the 1940s through the 1980s and has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer, or another asbestos-related disease, you may have a legal claim.

The case review below connects you directly with O’Brien Law Firm, an asbestos-mesothelioma practice experienced in handling asbestos exposure cases for iron workers nationwide — including members of IW Locals across the country. There is no cost to speak with an attorney, no obligation to retain counsel, and no attorney fee unless a financial recovery is made on your behalf.

The iron-working trade was allegedly exposed to asbestos throughout the asbestos-products era — most distinctively to the sprayed asbestos fireproofing applied to the structural steel iron workers erected, bolted, and welded, which rained down fiber on the raising gang as it was applied, and to the asbestos-lagged equipment and pipe covering on the industrial jobsites where they set steel. State statutes of limitation can limit the time available to file. Reaching out early preserves more of your options — including trust-fund claims that can be filed independently of any civil lawsuit.
