Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can you sue if you were exposed to asbestos on a construction site and have become ill?

A: Depending on the details of the case, you may be able to file a lawsuit for a construction injury caused by asbestos.

Asbestos is a dangerous toxin that can lead to illnesses, such as lung disease, mesothelioma and asbestosis.  This toxin isn’t the only one that injures construction workers; mold, lead and other hazardous substances have been known to lead to serious illnesses and death.

The effects of asbestos exposure generally don’t manifest right away, but that doesn’t mean you can’t pursue a claim for your work-related illness.  There is a statute of limitations as to when you can file a lawsuit against the negligent party, which should be discussed with an experienced New York construction accident lawyer.

For more information, contact the Manhattan construction accident lawyers at the law firm of Rappaport, Glass, Greene and Levine at 800.734.9445.  We have extensive experience representing construction accident cases in Long Island, Manhattan and throughout New York and can help you recover compensation for your injuries.
