Honolulu Mesothelioma Lawyer
Honolulu Mesothelioma Lawyer
Honolulu is the capital of Hawaii. Being a thriving and the largest Hawaii city, Honolulu is the major economic hub in the state. The economy of the city is mainly driven by the tourism industry and a major international airport. Honolulu has a substantial military presence at its Pearl Harbor Shipyard. The city also has a very strong trading industry. As the growth of the city was mainly during a period when the use of asbestos was at its peak, many former Honolulu workers have suffered prolonged exposure to asbestos as well as asbestos-containing products.
If you have been diagnosed with asbestosis, mesothelioma or other conditions caused by asbestos exposure, you could be entitled to compensation from asbestos trust funds. A dedicated Honolulu mesothelioma lawyer can assist you in making a claim with trust funds and obtaining this compensation in 90 days.
Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard
Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard is the most famous shipyard in the U.S. Currently it employs nearly 1400 employees, 500 or more apprentices, and 2000 wage employees. Until a few decades back, all shipyards including the Pearl Harbor Shipyard widely used asbestos. Consequently, many former Pearl Harbor Shipyard employees are now suffering from asbestos-related conditions including mesothelioma.
Throughout most of the 112 acres of the shipyard, large amounts of asbestos were used in: stall lots; buildings; pipes; dry dock stations; Incinerators; ship parts; gaskets and valves; boilers; steamlines; electronics; turbines; and deck materials. The use of asbestos was at its peak between the 1940s and the 1970s.
Asbestos Alerts in Honolulu Schools
In 2005, Honolulu schools, together with many other Hawaii schools, were on alert for asbestos after a number of old school buildings started to age quickly and deteriorate. Though it does not mean that students were suffering asbestos exposure, the EPA reminded the Hawaii state of the likely hazards and how the mineral affects schools in the state.
