Clarkson-University-Logo-New-York-Mesothelioma-Asbestos-Cancer-Lawsuits

Founded in 1896, Clarkson University is an independent technological university that offers 60 undergraduate and graduate programs to more than 4,000 enrolled students. It is noted for being one of the top-50 most entrepreneurial universities in America.

Like many older U.S. college campuses, however, Clarkson was constructed at a time when asbestos-containing building materials were commonly used. As a result, many former Clarkson workers are at risk of developing mesothelioma, lung cancer and other asbestos diseases.

The New York mesothelioma law firm of Belluck & Fox is nationally recognized for holding asbestos companies accountable for failing to warn about the health risks of their products. Our accomplished legal team has obtained more than $1 billion for patients and families whose lives have been turned upside down by asbestos-related disease. We know where and how asbestos products were used at Clarkson, and we’ll stop at nothing in our pursuit of full compensation for asbestos victims and their families.

If you or someone you love was diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos disease, contact Belluck & Fox for a free consultation with our award-winning mesothelioma lawyers. We charge no fees upfront to begin work on your asbestos claim. In fact, you pay nothing unless we recover money for you. We also encourage you to download our comprehensive Patient’s Guide to Mesothelioma to learn more about coping with the disease.

Asbestos Exposure at Clarkson University

Asbestos companies knew for decades about the health risks of their products but did not provide warnings. This resulted in many Clarkson employees and contractors taking no safety precautions and being exposed to asbestos from materials such as:

  • Laboratory equipment, such as fume hoods, tables, benches and countertops
  • Roofing felts, flashing and shingles
  • Thermal system insulation on pipes, boilers, pumps and tanks
  • Gaskets, seals, sealants, pipe packing and electrical wire insulation
  • Fire doors, fire blankets, fire curtains and other fire protection
  • Spray-applied fireproofing
  • Plaster, insulation board and cement products
  • Friction products such as clutches, brakes and transmission parts
  • Caulks and joint compound

History of Clarkson University

Clarkson University, with its main campus in Potsdam, N.Y., was established to celebrate the entrepreneur and humanitarian Thomas S. Clarkson. The Potsdam campus is located on what was once the Clarkson family’s 640-acre homestead and is adjacent to the 6 million-acre Adirondack Park.

The university was founded on the practicality of the man it was named after, a focus that continues today with an emphasis on STEM, data analytics and entrepreneurial education combined with multidisciplinary interaction to solve “real-world, open-ended problems with creativity and risk taking.” Clarkson offers graduate programs and research facilities in Saranac Lake, Schenectady, Beacon and New York City.

Types of Asbestos Disease

Asbestos is a known human carcinogen that can have devastating health consequences many years after it is inhaled or ingested. The same properties that make asbestos a resilient building material also make it nearly impossible for the body to break down. Microscopic, needle-like fibers that become embedded in the body can lead to deadly asbestos diseases such as:

Mesothelioma has a latency period of 15 to 60 years. Lung cancer and asbestosis can similarly take many decades to develop following initial exposure to asbestos. Diagnosis is made more difficult because early symptoms can mimic other, less-serious illnesses.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with an asbestos disease, it is not too late to hold Clarkson University accountable. To learn more, contact Belluck & Fox for a free consultation.
