Asbestos Attorney in North Carolina Discusses How Workers Continue to be Affected

Asbestos continues to plague the American workforce, even years after it became widely known that the substance causes mesothelioma.

In this video, mesothelioma attorney Gene Riddle explains some of the situations he’s seen where workers were exposed to this deadly substance, and what his law firm can do to help.
