Paramount and California Residents Are Too Often Exposed to Asbestos

California residents have been uniquely harmed by the devastating nature of mesothelioma and other asbestos-related illnesses like asbestosis and asbestos-related lung cancer. Statistical evidence reveals that far more Californians lose their life to asbestos-related illness than any other state. From 1999 to 2013 alone, well over 21,000 California residents passed away because of these diseases.

As part of Los Angeles County, Paramount is home to the California county that has lost the most lives to asbestos-related illness in the state. From 1999 to 2013, nearly 4,000 lives have been lost to asbestos-related illness in Los Angeles County.

Some of the asbestos exposure that contributed to these figures likely occurred in Paramount. Known jobsites that exposed Paramount residents to the dangers of asbestos include:

• Aerocraft Heat Treating Company, Inc.
• Carlton Forge Works
• Douglas Oil Company
• E.C. Losch Company
• Monsanto Chemical
• Pacific Crane & Rigging Company
• Paramount Petroleum
• Warco Steel

In addition to these jobsites, many older buildings in Paramount and throughout the state also pose a risk of asbestos danger. Many older buildings were built with asbestos-containing materials prior to 1970s asbestos ban, which only came after overwhelming evidence pointed to the toxic, deadly nature of asbestos.

If you or a loved one has been exposed to asbestos at these or any other jobsites in asbestos, you may deserve to receive legal compensation.
