AP Green Workers: Mesothelioma & Lung Cancer Claims

AP Green was a company founded in 1910 and began manufacturing bricks to resist high heat in factories and plants. The company incorporated asbestos into several refractory products, insulating cement and castable insulation. Asbestos is a cheap, accessible and durable product with a resistance to heat and flame, and as a result was utilized very heavily in some industries.

Any employee exposed to asbestos products for long durations or in an enclosed work area risked the development of cancer later in life. Asbestos diseases and cancers have a long latency period, and may not present and be diagnosed for decades after initial exposure.

Due to thousands of lung cancer and mesothelioma cases related to AP Green products and workplaces, the company faces many personal injury and toxic exposure lawsuits from asbestos victims. AP Green filed for bankruptcy in 2002 and established an asbestos trust fund for qualifying plaintiffs.

AP Green Worker Asbestos Exposure

Some professions are more associated with asbestos exposure than others, usually due to the materials used in a job or a particular job site. Occupations likely to present occupational asbestos exposure include:

  • Plumbers & Pipefitters
  • Electricians
  • Maintenance
  • Welders
  • Machine operators

Asbestos & Associated Cancers & Illnesses

The vast majority of workers who develop asbestosis or mesothelioma worked in an environment where asbestos materials were present. Certain job sites may have been filled with toxic asbestos products, and employers may have failed to warn workers of the serious health risks of the job. As a result, many Ohio workers have been diagnosed with the following illnesses:

  • Mesothelioma
  • Angiosarcoma
  • Asbestosis
  • Lung Cancer
  • Adenocarcinoma
  • Pulmonary Fibrosis

AP Green Asbestos Trust Fund

AP Green filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2002 under serious legal pressure from numerous asbestos lawsuits. In 2009, the company created the APG Asbestos Trust, which contains over $900 million to compensate former workers with asbestos-related diseases. A.P. Green continues to be a defendant and co-defendant in many mesothelioma lung cancer lawsuits.

Why Did Companies Use Asbestos?
