Asbestos Exposure

Over 27 million people in the U. S. are at risk of developing malignant Mesothelioma from asbestos exposure. Asbestos manufactures knew of the long term dangers of asbestos exposure but chose to ignore or downplay the role asbestos played in many reported illnesses.

Diagnosed With Mesothelioma

More than 10,000 Americans in the U. S. will be diagnosed with Mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases each year. Malignant Mesothelioma is a rare cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen, heart and major organs of the body.

Mesothelioma & Asbestos

The number of people diagnosed with asbestos caused diseases in the U.S. continues to increase. Experts believe 60,000 mesothelioma deaths will occur between 2010 and 2030. The 3 main treatments for Mesothelioma are: surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Asbestos Dust

Malignant Mesothelioma is caused by exposure to asbestos through ingestion or inhaling of microscopic asbestos fibers as small .3 microns. Mesothelioma symptoms may not appear for 10-40 years after first exposure.

CAOC LOBBY DAY

Monday, May 10, 2010

On May 5, 2010, P&H attorney Carolin Shining met with legislators in Sacramento as part of the Consumer Attorneys of California’s annual "Lobby Day" event. This year's event was particularly important as the proposed state budget for the court system had threatened to close dozens of courtrooms and layoff thousands of experienced court workers.

Ms. Shining, along with approximately 200 other consumer attorneys, spent the day in the State House meeting with legislators. Ms. Shining met with Senator Leland Yee, Assemblyman Kevin De Leon, Assemblyman Felipe Fuentes, Assemblywoman Lori Saldana, Assemblyman Isadore Hall and the general counsel for Assembly Speaker John Perez. Among the issues discussed were how the cuts -- which constituted yet a further 25% cut on top of last years' 25% cut -- would drastically reduce access to justice.

After the efforts of the CAOC lawyers, announcements were made that the governor's budget will replace funding for the court system that may avoid these drastic cuts and layoffs.
