A Lady asked:
I am a project administrator for a company. I just found out that the space we were working in has tested positive for Asbestos and Lead (came back 16 times the legal limit). I have the papers with the Asbestos test results that are positive. I am trying to figure out if I should contact a lawyer, do I have a case, what information should I gather for my case (if I have one). If you can shed some light on this situation I’d greatly appreciate it because the bottom line of my situation is YES I have been exposed to Asbestos (and I have the test results) and YES I have been exposed to Lead. If you need more information or think you can help please ask and please DO NOT 4GET TO COME BACK FOR MY REPLY! Thank you so much!!
folks get it right!! I AM NOT LOOKING FOR A QUICK WAY TO GET RICH!! I am concerned for my health along with others that work for me! DON’T BE SO QUICK TO MAKE A JUDGEMENT LIKE THE 1ST PERSON WHO COMMENTED ON MY QUESTION! STUPID JERK!!!
YES I AM SERIOUS!! DANG ALL I DID WAS ASK A SIMPLE QUESTION LOOKING FOR ADVICE AND YA’LL A**HOLES GET ALL UP TIGHT AND SH*T! I’ve never been in this situation and was simply looking for help!
I don’t want to sue! I just simply want to know my rights! Is there something wrong with that? and IF I do have a case it would be nice to know BUT my HEALTH and my CHILDREN’s HEALTH COMES FIRST!! STOP BEING SO QUICK TO JUDGE!!

Simply being exposed to lead or asbestos is not grounds for a lawsuit. You have to have incurred some sort of medical condition due to the exposure. You haven’t, so you can’t sue.
I hate people like you, always looking for an excuse to sue people, thinking your gonna get rich.

I think you have a pretty good case here. These tests should have been completed before you were sent to work in that space in my opinion. This way you would be aware and wear the proper masks/suits while working/visiting the space. I would think all you need to prove would be that you had no knowledge of the asbestos and lead going into the space.
Then you could also have the problem that the person in charge of the space might have not known either but it should be their responsibility to take samples to the proper labs just to make sure.

How long were you there? The thing is that lead poisoning and asbestosis take a LONG time to mature. If you were there for a short amount of time, you don’t have a case. You should FIRST go see a doctor, and only then if you have any problems, then see a lawyer.
Absent any problems, you have NO case. The mere worry about developing disease or problems is not grounds for recovery. Based on the information that I have heard, I would not take your case.
