We routinely deal with questions of the potential of exposure of shipboard and shipyard employees to asbestos.
A result of our research is that we have developed two publications on the use of asbestos in shipbuilding.
Sample Cases:
Asbestos Liability Issues for a Shipyard
A shipyard was facing a number of asbestos-related law suits from subcontractor personnel. Fisher Maritime was commissioned by the shipyard to analyze the historic factors that led to the use of asbestos as a construction material in the maritime industry and to identify the extent of the shipyard's role in deciding to use asbestos in the ships. Fisher Maritime conducted extensive historic research from government and other archives on asbestos, going back to the 1930s. Then Fisher Maritime analyzed the historic data and reported on the key events, legislation, and regulations that resulted in the use of asbestos as a building material in the maritime industry. This research, analysis, and reporting was instrumental in assisting the shipyard's counsel develop its litigation strategy. (Fisher Maritime has released several publications which address the use of asbestos in shipbuilding.) Additional information available upon request. See more cases.
