Asbestos Legal Rights
Your legal rights for Asbestos exposure and Mesothelioma
Asbestos exposure is linked to certain deadly diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestosis, and forms of lung cancer. Even though asbestos use was phased out in the 1970s, there are approximately 3000 mesothelioma new diagnoses each year. It is unfortunate, but there is a 30 to 40 year latency period between actual asbestos exposure and the onset of the symptomology of the disease, leading to the mesothelioma diagnosis. Unfortunately, asbestos use also includes many of the workers’ families who were exposed to asbestos because the workers unknowingly brought the asbestos home. We have handled numerous cases of family members and children and grandchildren who have been exposed to asbestos dust from the dad or grandfather’s work clothes.
Most unfortunate is that asbestos causes mesothelioma, which is a very rare and deadly form of lung cancer, which can cause death within a year of being diagnosed.
You or your loved one has legal rights if you have mesothelioma. As Asbestos lawyers we prove that your mesothelioma was caused by exposure to asbestos. We will also prove and have proven on countless occasions that companies making and distributing asbestos have known for years that it is harmful and deadly. We will obtain for you a recovery for all the pain and suffering and medical bills you have incurred and a settlement for all of your loved ones harmed by your mesothelioma.
Mesothelioma is a cancer in the lining of the lung (plural). Remember, the only known cause of mesothelioma is asbestos exposure. We have cases in which the latency period has been 45 years. Symptoms include the following:
Constant pain in the chest
Shortness of breath
Pain or swelling in the abdomen
Persistent coughing
Fatigue
Coughing blood
Significant weight loss
If you or a loved one has suffered mesothelioma due to asbestos, we will qualify you for monetary compensation. Do not delay. There are significant time deadlines that we need to comply with on your behalf.
