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.

Product Defect Causes & Cures

In almost all instances, products are recalled or removed because of a discovered defect. Some recalls occur voluntarily; others involve litigation or involvement of government agencies.
 
Generally speaking, a product can be found defective in several ways. A manufacturing defect occurs when the product departs from its intended design. A design defect arises when the products risk of causing harm can be reduced or avoided through a reasonable alternative design. Defects caused by inadequate instruction or warning occur when the harm caused by a product could have been eliminated or reduced through the use of reasonable instructions or warnings. 
 
Products liability refers to the liability of any company along the chain of manufacture for a product that causes damage. Depending on a state's law, this includes the manufacturer of components, the assembling manufacturer, wholesalers, and retailers. Several theories of liability can be pursued such as negligence and strict liability.  If the injury occurred aboard a ship or on the water, certain maritime theories also may be applicable.
