Add every job, product, and location where asbestos exposure occurred. The tool builds a chronological record your attorney can use to identify defendants and build your case.
Add one entry per job, workplace, product, or location. You can add as many as you need.

Attorneys typically need employer names, dates, locations, and job titles to identify asbestos defendants.
A mesothelioma attorney will review your exposure history and contact you within 24 hours. No fee unless you win.
Mesothelioma cases live or die on exposure history. Your attorney needs to know every place you worked, every product you handled, and every environment where asbestos could have been present. That information is how they identify defendants - the manufacturers, employers, and contractors who put you in contact with asbestos.
Most people were exposed at multiple sites over many years. A shipyard worker in the 1960s might have been exposed to asbestos pipe insulation, boiler gaskets, brake linings, and ceiling tiles all on the same job. Each of those products came from a different manufacturer, and each manufacturer may have a bankruptcy trust fund.
Add an entry for every job where asbestos may have been present. Common occupations with documented high exposure include shipyard workers, plumbers, pipefitters, electricians, construction workers, auto mechanics, boiler operators, and insulation installers. See the military asbestos screener if your exposure involved military service.
Also add entries for significant product exposures - asbestos-containing brake pads, gaskets, floor tiles, or pipe insulation used during home renovation. And include secondary exposures if a family member regularly brought asbestos dust home on their clothing.
Attorneys cross-reference your exposure history against databases of known asbestos-containing products, manufacturers, and worksites. From an employer name and a date range, they can often identify 5 to 15 defendants and the specific bankruptcy trust funds those companies established.
The more detail you provide, the stronger the case. Approximate dates are fine - courts understand that workers don't remember exact hire dates from 40 years ago. A decade and a location is often enough to start.
Use the mesothelioma case evaluator to get a case viability score, the asbestos trust fund claim estimator to estimate compensation from bankruptcy funds, and the mesothelioma settlement calculator for a settlement range estimate.
