What is Asbestosis and Mesothelioma? |
Asbestos was one of the most common industrial materials put to
use in the twentieth century. It has also proven to be one of the most lethal, as inhaling asbestos fibers can lead to a wide
range of pulmonary problems such as asthma and asbestosis - and can also be the direct cause of mesothelioma.
What is mesothelioma? It is a lethal cancer that attacks the membranes
around the lungs, the heart and the abdominal cavity. Mesothelioma cancer of the lungs is by far the most common form. Perhaps
its most unusual characteristic is that mesothelioma diagnosis usually occurs decades after the initial exposure to asbestos.
It takes years for the asbestos fibers to work their way into those
membranes; after an extended presence they begin to cause fluid accumulation and tumor development. However the first mesothelioma
symptoms are such afflictions as a persistent cough or shortness of breath - symptoms that are often mistaken for evidence
of more common lung problems, which delays the mesothelioma diagnosis even further.
Financial Compensation and Justice for Exposure to Asbestos |
We can assist victims of asbestos exposure and their families to obtain financial
damages from asbestos manufacturers for exposure and related injuries. Asbestos has been known to cause mesothelioma
but also is associated with the development of respiratory disorders like asbestosis, cancer and breathing difficulty.
Those who suffer from asbestos related injuries or mesothelioma deserve to recover their damages, as their lives
have been forever changed by the asbestos companies who have been proven to have knowingly profited at the expense of
peoples lives.
Given the amount of affected individuals,
many asbestos manufacturers have either gone into bankruptcy or formed trust funds to pay out asbestos injury damages. Our
lawyers will help you determine where you were exposed and which manufacturer or manufacturers of asbestos products can
be charges with responsibility. Our attorneys will then advise you on all aspects of pursuing your
claim including filing a lawsuit if necessary within in the appropriate state and we work closely
with our clients throughout the whole process.
