Shipyards
Avondale, Todd Shipyard, Higgins. Maritime workers faced some of the heaviest asbestos exposure in Louisiana history.
Refineries
ExxonMobil (Baton Rouge), Shell (Norco), Marathon (Garyville). Refinery workers were routinely exposed to asbestos insulation and gaskets.
Chemical plants
Dow Chemical (Plaquemine), Georgia-Pacific, International Paper. Industrial plants across the Chemical Corridor used asbestos extensively.
Military
Navy Veterans and Maritime workers across the Gulf Coast. Military service members were exposed to asbestos aboard ships and in military facilities.
Industrial work
Industrial jobs contained significant asbestos products and exposure risk. Pipefitters, electricians, boilermakers, and construction workers were especially vulnerable.
Secondhand exposure
Did a loved one work around asbestos and bring home the dangerous fiber, inadvertently exposing you? Secondhand exposure claims are valid and compensable.
Talcum powder
Did you or a family member use J&J baby powder or other cosmetic products that contained asbestos? If so, you were exposed and may have a claim.
