Asbestos exposure from overalls

It has been accepted that an asbestos related condition such as mesothelioma may be contracted from exposure to asbestos from contaminated overalls or other dirty work clothes. If you were exposed to asbestos due to washing dirty work clothes that your husband, partner or other relative had brought home, you may have a claim if you later suffer from an asbestos related disease.
Asbestos conditions nearly always take more than 10 years to develop after the exposure has occurred.

Although it has been known for many decades that asbestos related illnesses resulted from exposure to asbestos fibres, it became widely known from about 1965 that mesothelioma could be caused by even a small level of exposure. In order for a claim to succeed you would have to show that the asbestos exposure through cleaning dirty overalls, took place after 1965.
