Asbestos Exposure – Boilers, Turbines, Pumps
Nationwide Asbestos Exposure Attorneys
For many years, factories throughout the United States had equipment and machinery in them that contained asbestos. As a result, factory workers, repairmen and contractors were at risk for asbestos exposure anytime construction, repairs, or maintenance work involved exposure to the internal components or insulation of factory machinery. At the law office of Saville & Flint, our attorneys work with asbestos experts, safety consultants, toxicologists, and medial professionals to establish a causal link between our client’s lung cancer, mesothelioma, or asbestosis and their work in a factory that contained asbestos-laden machinery. If necessary, we provide an inventory of the kinds of equipment our client would have worked on or around, the presence of asbestos, and the time frame and length of exposure involved.
If you suffer from an asbestos-related condition or have lost a family member due to asbestos exposure, contact the law office of Saville & Flint today. We provide free consultations and legal representation in asbestos personal injury lawsuits throughout the United States.

Determining if Asbestos is the Cause of Lung Cancer
Medical research has demonstrated a clear link between exposure to asbestos and lung cancer. In fact, the process by which asbestos causes lung cancer is fairly well understood. Asbestos particles typically harm lung tissue due to the body’s difficulty in extracting these foreign substances and repairing damaged tissue.
Asbestos particles cannot be easily extracted, resulting in excessive scar tissue. In cases where x-rays are performed, the presence of asbestos and scarred air sacs is evident. As the body continues to create scar tissue in an attempt to isolate the foreign particles and remove them, cellular mutations result, causing cancer.
Recovering Financial Compensation for Asbestos Related Injuries
The financial impact to a family from lung cancer, mesothelioma, or asbestosis can be significant. Often, families lose a portion of house hold income due to disability or an early death. Our attorneys work with experienced medical economists who provide cost data analyses based on known costs associated with medical treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
