Asbestos Cement Siding — Mesothelioma Compensation

Asbestos cement siding (also called fiber-cement siding or asbestos shingles) was used on millions of pre-1980 American homes — durable, fire-resistant, and inexpensive. Major brands included CertainTeed, Johns-Manville, and GAF. Renovation and demolition workers removing asbestos cement siding face documented exposure. Even DIY homeowners removing siding face risk.
