You Built America
But Were Never Warned What Was Hiding in the Dust
Construction Workers Diagnosed with Mesothelioma Deserve Justice
For decades, asbestos was a common ingredient in building materials like cement, insulation, drywall, tiles, roofing, joint compound, and more. Construction workers encountered it daily, whether they were tearing down walls, cutting pipes, mixing materials, or simply sweeping up dust at the end of a shift.
Most were never warned. Most never knew. And now, many are paying the price with their health, as illnesses like mesothelioma and lung disease emerge decades after the exposure occurred.
THE HISTORY OF ASBESTOS
What Built the Walls Also Broke Lives, The Hidden Cost of Asbestos in Construction
Asbestos was widely used in the U.S. construction industry from the early 1900s through the late 1980s.
Its strength, fire resistance, and insulating properties made it a common ingredient in cement, insulation, roofing, drywall, floor tiles, and joint compounds.
Despite growing medical evidence as early as the 1930s linking asbestos to lung disease, it continued to be used extensively.
Workers often handled, cut, and installed asbestos materials without any protective gear or warnings.
Today, many former construction workers are being diagnosed with mesothelioma and other asbestos-related illnesses, decades after their last exposure, a silent legacy of building materials once thought to be safe.
Some roles faced higher exposure,
but every worker on site was at risk
These roles brought workers into direct contact with asbestos, often without their knowledge. Every task stirred up invisible fibers that lingered in the air, entered their lungs, and remained for decades , silently causing long-term harm.
