Asbestos is a heat-resistant mineral with long and thin fibers that can be spun and woven. With its extreme durability, it has many industrial uses but unfortunately, is also an extremely dangerous, injury-causing substance.

At Amaro Law Firm an attorney is ready to meet with you, examine all aspects of your case and determine whether we can help safeguard your rights.

Although the dangers of asbestos were documented as early as the 1930’s and 1940’s, its use rose to a high point in the 1970’s and no meaningful safeguards were put into place in work environments until 1980. With a 20 to 50 year latency period before symptoms of the diseases occur, the U.S. today is experiencing an epidemic of asbestos-related illnesses and deaths. Rest assured that we pledge to do all that is possible to help establish that your illness was caused by asbestos exposure and that the responsible party failed to provide a safe place for you to work.
