The use of asbestos in frigates has left a lasting impact on the health and safety of naval personnel and shipyard workers. Frigates, like many naval vessels constructed during the mid-20th century, often contained the harmful mineral known as asbestos. This harmful substance could be found in critical components such as insulation, gaskets, and fireproofing materials, exposing countless individuals to serious health risks, including mesothelioma and asbestosis.
With over 30 years of asbestos litigation experience, Joseph P. Williams, founding partner of The Williams Law Firm, P.C., has helped victims and their families recover hundreds of millions in compensation after facing asbestos exposure on a frigate. Our firm is dedicated to holding responsible parties accountable and advocating for those impacted by asbestos exposure on frigates.
Frigates built during the mid-20th century were often constructed with asbestos-containing materials, putting countless naval personnel and maintenance workers at risk of exposure to the harmful mineral. Asbestos was commonly used in these ships due to its heat-resistant capabilities and durability. It was especially common to find asbestos-containing materials in insulation, gaskets, and fireproofing components.
Over time, these asbestos-containing materials could deteriorate or become disturbed during repairs, releasing harmful fibers into the air that were easily inhaled or ingested by unknowing individuals aboard the vessel. Identifying which frigates are most at-risk of containing asbestos is crucial for raising awareness, and providing guidance for those who may want to seek legal action for any losses suffered as a result of exposure to the harmful substance.
At least 116 frigate ships are thought to be at risk of having contained asbestos, leaving countless veterans at risk of developing asbestos-related diseases. The frigates that are at risk of containing asbestos include the following:
