Bystander Asbestos Exposure

The Galiher Law Firm has represented hundreds of clients who contracted mesothelioma from bystander asbestos exposure. Bystander exposure to asbestos can be occult to many people who are diagnosed with mesothelioma. We have over 30 years of experienced in investigating asbestos exposure. We use all of our available resources to help identify your exposure to asbestos.

Bystander asbestos exposure occurs when a worker or person is in close proximity with others who are using asbestos or asbestos laden products. When asbestos containing materials are disturbed small asbestos fibers are released into the air. Once airborne these fibers are inhaled by workers and everyone in the area. The cancer causing asbestos fibers become lodged in the tissue of the lungs and damage the tissue causing mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases.
