Navigating the process of submitting an asbestos workplace exposure claim requires specialized knowledge and experience. Unlike US firms that advertise in Canada, our legal team is fully licensed and deeply familiar with Canadian laws. We’ve helped more than 500 Canadians receive compensation, often more than what workers’ compensation can offer, which is designed to protect the employer responsible, not the employee who has to deal with the consequences for the rest of their life.
Yukon Workers and Asbestos Exposure
Since asbestos was first discovered in Canada in 1850, mines in various territories across the country contributed to the large amount exported for about 100 years. The Clinton Creek Mine in the Yukon was an active asbestos mine in the late 1960s to early 1970s, exposing a large number of workers to the serious health effects of this dangerous material. Even though asbestos began to be phased out in construction and manufacturing in the 1980s, it still poses risks today. According to asbestos.com, approximately 235,000 Canadian workers are exposed to asbestos every year, predominantly in the construction industry.
