Wisconsin Sheet Metals Union Asbestos Case

Asbestos exposure on construction sites was commonplace in the 1940’s, 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s. Not long ago, I was able to help a man exposed to asbestos during that time. He worked throughout the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area, including facilities in South Milwaukee, West Allis, and other sites.  Eventually, he was diagnosed with mesothelioma. As is typical in asbestos mesothelioma cases, the diagnosis was made after a biopsy of his lung and a nodule. He is actually retired and living in Arizona, but since his exposure as a construction worker in the Sheet Metals Union took place primarily in Wisconsin, a basis for his lawsuit against manufactures and distributors of asbestos laced products is here and based on their causing his mesothelioma.
