Occupations at Risk for Asbestos Exposure in Orlando
When disturbed, asbestos-containing materials send fibers into the air, endangering workers who might inhale them. Workers at high risk for occupational asbestos exposure in Orlando include the following:
These workers often handled and repaired insulation, which commonly included asbestos. Those performing maintenance on equipment insulated with asbestos-containing materials were also at risk of exposure.
Wires and other key power equipment were often protected from high temperatures with asbestos-containing insulation. Those who worked near these components may have inhaled asbestos fibers.
Pipes often contained asbestos to protect them from high temperatures. Fixing or placing pipes could release asbestos fibers into the air, endangering workers and anyone nearby.
Like other key industrial equipment exposed to extreme heat, boilers often contained asbestos. Those involved in constructing or maintaining boilers were at high risk of exposure.
Asbestos was a common ingredient in construction materials and remains in many older buildings today. Renovation or demolition could disturb asbestos-containing materials and expose workers to asbestos fibers.

Compensation in Orlando
Mesothelioma lawsuits are the most common method of recovering compensation after asbestos exposure. Victims can file suit against the parties responsible for their asbestos-related illness and pursue damages for the impacts the disease has had on their lives.
Some companies sought bankruptcy protection in the face of mounting liability. They established asbestos trust funds to compensate those who have developed asbestos-related diseases. If you’re eligible to file a claim with an asbestos trust, recovery is typically faster and less complicated than filing a lawsuit.
If you were exposed to asbestos on the job, you may also be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits through your employer. These benefits typically cover medical expenses and lost wages.
Military veterans who have developed illnesses from exposure during their service can file a claim for medical benefits and monthly disability payments from the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Asbestos Laws and Regulations in Orlando, FL
Florida has a two-year statute of limitations for personal injury lawsuits, including mesothelioma claims. Mesothelioma patients generally have two years from the diagnosis date to file suit. Wrongful death lawsuits must be filed within two years of a victim’s death.
Under Florida’s “two-disease rule,” victims can’t seek damages for their fear or risk of developing cancer in the future. However, they can’t give away their right to pursue a cancer claim as a condition for settling a suit for a non-cancerous asbestos-related condition.
To understand how these laws impact your claim and ensure you receive the maximum possible compensation, consult an experienced Orlando asbestos attorney as soon as possible after your diagnosis.
