Babcock Wilcox Workers: Mesothelioma & Lung Cancer Claims

Babcock & Wilcox used asbestos in their steam boilers, utility and marine boilers, refractory products and various other products, putting employees and end users at risk of developing related illnesses like lung cancer, asbestosis, and mesothelioma.

Thousands of former workers and users of asbestos products were injured for years, many of whom are still ill from exposure. Babcock also acquired companies like Bailey Meter, endangering those workers. Patients are being diagnosed with lung cancer and mesothelioma decades after exposure, demonstrating the terrible consequences of asbestos use.

What Kind of Settlement Can a Babcock & Wilcox Asbestos Exposure Lawyer Help You Secure?

A skilled Babcock & Wilcox asbestos exposure lawyer can help you pursue various types of settlements and compensation based on the specifics of your case and the extent of your asbestos-related injuries. Here are some common forms of settlements and compensation that an attorney can assist you in securing:

  • Asbestos Trust Fund Claims: Many companies, including Babcock & Wilcox, have established asbestos trust funds to compensate asbestos victims. A lawyer can help you navigate the process of filing a claim with these trust funds to secure financial compensation.

  • Personal Injury Claims: If you have been diagnosed with an asbestos-related illness such as mesothelioma or asbestosis, you may be eligible to file a personal injury lawsuit against Babcock & Wilcox. A successful claim can result in compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost income.

  • Wrongful Death Claims: In cases where a loved one has passed away due to asbestos-related illnesses, a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim on behalf of the deceased’s estate. This can secure compensation for medical expenses, funeral costs, and the emotional suffering of surviving family members.

  • Workers’ Compensation: If you were exposed to asbestos while on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. A lawyer can assist in pursuing these benefits, which typically cover medical expenses and a portion of your lost wages.

  • Product Liability Claims: In some cases, Babcock & Wilcox may be held liable for manufacturing or supplying asbestos-containing products. A lawyer can help you file a product liability claim to seek compensation for injuries caused by these products.

It’s important to note that the specific type and amount of compensation you may be eligible for will depend on the unique circumstances of your case, including the extent of your injuries, the duration and level of asbestos exposure, and the jurisdiction in which your claim is filed. An experienced Babcock & Wilcox asbestos exposure lawyer can assess your situation, build a strong case, and advocate on your behalf to secure the maximum possible compensation.

Babcock Wilcox Asbestos Lawsuits

Babcock & Wilcox first faced asbestos-related personal injury claims in the 1980s. While the company did not manufacture asbestos products, many of its boilers were constructed with asbestos materials. As a result, workers who built or maintained asbestos-containing boilers began to develop respiratory illnesses such as lung cancer and mesothelioma. B&W settled tens of thousands of asbestos claims by 2000, costing the company nearly $1.6 billion.

Over several decades of asbestos lawsuits, courts awarded numerous judgments in favor of plaintiffs harmed or killed by the company’s products. The company has been named as a defendant in countless asbestos cases involving veterans of the Navy and other industries.
