Mesothelioma Lawyers have determined Asbestos Exposure is the only known case of Malignant Mesothelioma. Workers, their families, and consumers have been exposed to asbestos in every state, due to the negligence of asbestos companies.

If products containing asbestos are disturbed, the tiny fibers are released into the air. When they are inhaled, they can become trapped in the lungs and stay there for decades. Over time these asbestos fibers can accumulate and lead to very serious health problems, including:

Asbestosis, an inflammatory condition of lungs that can cause shortness of breath, coughing, and eventually scarring of the lungs that makes it hard to breathe.

Mesothelioma, a rare cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, chest cavity, or abdomen.

Other lung problems, including pleural plaques (changes in the membranes surrounding the lungs), thickening of the membranes that surround the lungs, and pleural effusions (abnormal collections of fluid between the lungs and the inside wall of the chest.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with an illness related to asbestos such as mesothelioma, speaking with a mesothelioma lawyer can help you understand if you have legal options for compensation. In recent years, mesothelioma litigation has helped thousands receive financial assistance to cover medical expenses and lost income.
