Former Mohawk Rubber staff could have been at extreme risk of developing occupational cancer due to the toxic materials used in the buildings and products at Mohawk.
New cases of mesothelioma, lung cancer, asbestosis and other pulmonary disorders are rare, but not unheard of. The damage from long-term exposure, or even short-term has resulted in cancer diagnoses in many former rubber plant workers. Many rubber manufacturers and third parties may have failed to warn employees of the serious health risks, placing workers at future peril.
Joe Lyon is a highly-rated Ohio asbestos lawyer currently representing former worker nationwide in occupational toxic exposure cases. Settlements and compensation are likely for any Mohawk Rubber staff member who has a documented illness related to employment.
