At 11:30, we’re driving to St. Paul to attend an event hosted by the law firm representing railroad workers whose health was impacted by exposure to asbestos and other chemicals while working for the railroad. Tom has completed all the paperwork to participate as a claimant, which has already been settled. Over the next few years, he will receive small sums periodically to compensate for his diagnosis of pulmonary fibrosis, a direct result of the exposure over 42½ years.
After considerable research, the following is a more detailed description of the consequences and long-term effects of asbestos exposure by workers in the railroad industry and other businesses. Tom has been examined, and it has been determined that he has developed this non-curable lung condition.
