Developing a Database

The first step to making an asbestos claim is to compile all the details of the person's exposure. This can include interviews with relatives, coworkers, abatement workers, and suppliers.

Many asbestos lawsuits involve dozens of defendants. The reason is that asbestos cases are complex and the lives of the victims were impacted in different ways due to asbestos exposure at various workplaces.
