Fibreboard Company

Fibreboard Company employees exposed to asbestos

Using asbestos in their wide range of building products since 1920, Fibreboard Company – which was subsequently acquired by Owens Corning Corporation – is nowadays the leading manufacturer of fiberglass in the world. While their products are asbestos-free today, Fibreboard Company did not cease the employment of this hazardous mineral until 1971. As a result, numerous workers have recently developed terrible diseases, such as asbestosis and lung cancer, due to the asbestos exposure they were subjected to on the job.

The occupations at the highest risk of developing a serious disease as a result of asbestos exposure which occurred either by working at Fibreboard Company or working with their products are:

• factory workers
• construction workers
• steamfitters and pipefitters/utilitiesmen
• carpenters
• roofers

Considering the fact that asbestos-related diseases may take a long time to develop, it's extremely important that anyone who has a history of asbestos exposure regularly monitor their health. In the interest of promoting the importance of early diagnosis, we are offering screenings free of charge for Fibreboard Company employees.

Secondary asbestos exposure, a serious concern for the family members of Fibreboard Company workers

If you struggle with a disease as a consequence of living under the same roof as a Fibreboard Company worker, you are eligible for compensation, too. Throughout the last century, numerous people were indirectly exposed to asbestos because they had a family member who would regularly handle asbestos at work. Several decades later, some of them developed awful illnesses, such as pulmonary fibrosis, gastrointestinal cancer, or mesothelioma, as asbestos fibers cause damage to internal organs slowly. It is estimated that up to 10% of asbestos victims fell ill due to secondary exposure.

With nearly 30 years of experience in toxic exposure cases, our lawyers will help you claim the financial compensation you deserve. The asbestos trust fund established by Fibreboard Company pays out money not only to people affected by occupational exposure but also to those who underwent secondary exposure. For more information about the legal process, please contact Environmental Litigation Group, P.C. and we will gladly assist you.
