Mesothelioma Litigation Law Firm Representing Merchant Mariners Exposed to Asbestos

Like members of the U.S. Navy, people serving in the Merchant Marine are at risk of asbestos exposure while serving on ships. Much of the equipment on Merchant Marine vessels, including the boilers, furnaces and pipes, were insulated with products containing asbestos, putting everyone on the ship at risk of exposure. If you or a loved one has been exposed to asbestos while serving with the Merchant Marine, an experienced mesothelioma litigation attorney can help you explore your legal options.

Merchant Mariners and Mesothelioma

Because many boilers on today’s ships were manufactured decades ago, today’s Merchant Marines are still at risk of mesothelioma. The crew members at the highest risk are those serving below deck and those who directly interact with the asbestos-containing equipment. However, anyone on a Merchant Marine vessel is at risk of asbestos exposure, as the quarters are cramped, and the particles can spread to different parts of the ship.

Not only crew members are at risk. People who worked in the construction or maintenance of Merchant Marine vessels are also vulnerable to developing mesothelioma.

Today, many Merchant Mariners have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer and other asbestos-related diseases. Our lawyers are dedicated to helping Merchant Mariners obtain justice and compensation for the losses they have suffered due to mesolthelioma.
