Prior to the late 1970s, asbestos-containing materials were utilized in the manufacturing process and during maintenance procedures at the Cummins Inc. Jamestown Engine Plant in Jamestown, New York. Inhaling dust and particles from the application and removal of asbestos-containing materials placed workers at risk for developing serious health problems, such as mesothelioma and lung cancer. Even those who were not in direct contact with asbestos materials remain at risk for the development of asbestos-related diseases. If you or a loved one were once employed at the Cummins Inc. Jamestown Engine Plant in Jamestown, New York, and have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, lung cancer or another asbestos-related disease, we urge you to contact us regarding your legal rights.
