This site is an independent media reference documenting occupational asbestos exposure and the legal frameworks available to workers and their families affected by asbestos-related disease.

Publisher

Rights Watch Media Group LLC (RWMG) is an independent media organization that operates a network of public-records research sites covering occupational asbestos exposure in the United States. The network includes:

  • navyshipexposure.com — Documented asbestos exposure aboard U.S. Navy vessels
  • asbestos-products.com — “AsbestosIndex,” an asbestos product catalog with manufacturer crosswalk
  • industrialexposurearchive.com — Cross-state hub linking the state-specific archives
  • State-specific archives covering occupational asbestos exposure across the industrial Midwest and beyond

Editorial standards

The information published here is drawn from:

  1. Public asbestos litigation records — Federal and state court filings, depositions, expert reports
  2. Federal NESHAP filings — EPA asbestos abatement notifications maintained by state environmental agencies
  3. OSHA records — Federal occupational safety inspection records and citations
  4. Federal occupational-health research — NIOSH research and peer-reviewed medical literature
  5. EPA Detailed Facility Reports (ECHO) — Federal enforcement and compliance history per facility
  6. Asbestos bankruptcy trust documents — Public 524(g) plan documents and trust schedules

Editorial framing on this site cites information as “documented in publicly filed records” rather than asserting facts about any specific worker’s eligibility. Individual claim eligibility requires diagnosis of an asbestos-related disease, documented exposure, and applicable jurisdictional and statute-of-limitations conditions.

Editorial sponsorship

This site is sponsored by O’Brien Law Firm, a St. Louis, Missouri-based plaintiff trial practice with more than three decades of experience in asbestos and mesothelioma cases. The firm provides financial sponsorship of the RWMG network and is the firm to which case-evaluation inquiries from this network are directed.

The editorial wall: O’Brien Law Firm does not direct, edit, or pre-approve the research content RWMG publishes. The firm appears as the editorial sponsor of the network and as the case-evaluation destination for inquiries; the research content is editorially independent.

What this site is not

  • It is not legal advice. Statute-of-limitations and case-eligibility decisions require an attorney’s analysis of your specific facts.
  • It is not medical advice. Disease descriptions are general; diagnosis and treatment require qualified physicians.
  • It is not a lead-generation broker. RWMG operates a single editorial-sponsorship relationship with O’Brien Law Firm; it does not auction inquiries among multiple firms.
