Workplace Asbestos Exposure

More than 1.3 million U. S. construction workers are exposed to asbestos each year. It is estimated that there will be about 250,000 cases of malignant Mesothelioma before 2020.

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.

Mesothelioma Litigation

Companies that owned and operated facilities where workers were exposed to asbestos may be liable for injuries that occurred from this exposure because of their negligence.  

Many of the companies were well aware of the dangers of asbestos exposure and did not educate their workers about these dangers.  Some companies went so far as to conceal medical records and health histories of certain employees so as to not alarm them to the extent of the potential injuries caused by asbestos exposure.  Due to this negligence and malicious cover-ups on the part of these companies, numerous lawsuits have been filed to collect settlement monies for the victims of mesothelioma and asbestos injury.
 
If you or a loved one have been exposed to asbestos, then you may have suffered injuries from this exposure. You should seek an asbestos attorney with experience in mesothelioma litigation who can potentially file a mesothelioma lawsuit and obtain a settlement.  See our discussion of how to select an experienced mesothelioma lawyer.  While the settlement cannot restore health, it can help the injured person to improve his or her lifestyle, thus offsetting some of the pain.
