Asbestos Attorneys in Nebraska

Nebraska Asbestos AttorneysNebraska has been the location of many industries and companies that used asbestos in large quantities, potentially exposing employees and their families to toxic levels of this carcinogen. Individuals who worked for the following industries and companies in Nebraska were at a high risk of asbestos exposure:
  • Petroleum industry
  • Railroad industry
  • Power plants
  • Western Mineral Products, once located in Omaha
  • Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Company

Processing Vermiculite in Omaha

For example, Western Mineral Products received thousands of tons of vermiculite from the mines in Libby, Montana, and processed the vermiculite into insulation and other products. Huge clouds of vermiculite dust were released during the processing, endangering both employees and Nebraska residents near the plant.

Railroads and Asbestos Exposure

Railroads such as Burlington Northern were also common sites of high-level asbestos exposure. The diseases which can be caused by asbestos exposure — such as lung cancer, mesothelioma cancer and asbestosis — often don't appear until years (even decades) after the asbestos exposure occurred; so many retired railroad workers are just now feeling the effects.

Nebraska Statute of Limitations

The Nebraska statute of limitations puts a time limit on filing an asbestos lawsuit. Fortunately, the statute of limitations does not go into affect until after mesothelioma diagnosis. In order to file an asbestos lawsuit in Nebraska, you must file within four years of diagnosis of an asbestos-caused disease or two years of the wrongful death of a loved one, caused by asbestos exposure.
