Occupational accidents and diseases
The massive use of asbestos in various industrial sectors, the use of which was only banned in 1992, is at the root of the spread of a number of asbestos-related diseases, including, principally, asbestosis, lung cancer and pleural and peritoneal mesothelioma.
Statistics show that the incidence of asbestos-related cancer is still high, and unfortunately there are still many people who discover, 40 years after leaving their work, to suffer from pleural or peritoneal mesothelioma, as well as from other malignant cancer associated with asbestos exposure.
The firm has extensive experience in this area, having taken on the defence of numerous family members of former employees of companies in the lower lake Iseo area that once operated in the sector of industrial gaskets containing asbestos, obtaining the right compensation.
The firm has brought in front of the court of Milan other cases on behalf of family members of former employees of Industrie Pirelli S.p.a. who were also exposed to the fibre in their working environment.
