Sitka Mesothelioma Attorney
Today nearly everyone has heard of asbestos and understands that it is a dangerous substance. Sadly, this was not always the case. Asbestos was used in Alaska and around the world for hundreds of years before its health risks became widely understood. Even when evidence of these risks began to emerge in the early twentieth century, it was often deliberately hidden by greedy employers.
Although the use of asbestos dropped dramatically in the 1970s, the harmful effects of its use are still being felt today. Grave conditions like mesothelioma may not begin to show symptoms for years or even decades. Sitka mesothelioma lawyers Williams Kherkher will work with you to hold negligent corporations responsible for asbestos exposure.

Mesothelioma and Negligence
Decades after studies began to link asbestos and cancer, a variety of employers continued to expose their workers to this toxin. In many cases, workers were not even given safety equipment or warned about the risks they faced. Not only were workers themselves endangered, they often came home with asbestos fibers on their clothing, putting their families at risk.
