Asbestos Injuries Among Building Trades & Union Members in Nevada

More than 150,000 Nevada residents are members of unions. Among the thousands of members of Nevada's building trades and construction unions, many have been, and still are, at risk of asbestos exposure injuries.

A few decades ago, despite knowledge that should have prevented it, the construction of Nevada's hotels, factories, and other building construction involved many asbestos-containing materials. Workers installing insulation, floor tiles, shingles, and many products that contained asbestos were put at risk while they cut, sanded, sprayed, and otherwise used and applied these products. Today, these same buildings are being remodeled, redone, and razed, often without regard to the asbestos-containing materials used during the initial construction. This disregard for worker safety puts a whole new generation of people at risk for asbestos-related lung cancer, mesothelioma, and other asbestos diseases.

Electricians, carpenters, locomotive engineers, insulators, and many others worked with and near products that contained asbestos. Some of our clients are members of these unions:
