Electrical Panel Partition - Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure Risks

For many years, asbestos was used in electrical panel partitions as an insulator. Asbestos was known for its durability and long life as well as its capabilities as an electrical insulator. At the time that asbestos was in high usage for electrical parts such as electrical panel partitions, it wasn't known that it was a dangerous product; rather it was thought to be a miracle product, especially for electrical panel partitions.

With electrical panel partitions in high demand during World War II, asbestos swept the nation. The use of asbestos products was at an all time high and many electrical panel partitions were made with asbestos. People who have been exposed to asbestos are contracting serious diseases that are caused by exposure to products containing asbestos. One of these illnesses is mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma cancer is linked only to people who have been exposed to asbestos. Mesothelioma is a serious cancer that typically appear after at least 20 years after exposure. This cancer does not respond to conventional cancer treatments and most people who are diagnosed with mesothelioma pass away a short time after diagnosis is made.

For workers who made electrical panel partitions with asbestos, and people who worked in places that contained asbestos-laden electrical panel partitions, the risk for mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases is much higher. However, there is no correlation to the amount of exposure and mesothelioma - anyone with any level of exposure to asbestos-laden products can contract mesothelioma.

Asbestos and Legal Options

The dangers of electrical panel partitions made with asbestos extend beyond the people with direct contact with them. The families of these workers are also at risk. Asbestos is a fine fiber that is very strong, yet lightweight. It is easily carried home on skin, hair, clothing and shoes of those who made electrical panel partitions.

For people who worked with electrical panel partitions and have mesothelioma cancer, you may have legal options for compensation. Many have already received financial assistance to help pay for medical expenses. For more information, please fill out the request form on this page to receive a free informational packet.
