Mesothelioma strikes over 3,000 people each year.
The disease is almost exclusively caused by asbestos exposure.
Asbestos is a known toxin that irresponsible companies continued to
market for decades in the face of scientific evidence proving its
danger. In such terrible circumstances, Mesothelioma victims should
seek legal help to make sure they are compensated.
Causes of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is nearly always related to Asbestos exposure. Asbestos
is an extremely dangerous material and low exposure levels can
trigger Mesothelioma. This means that even family members of
asbestos workers are at risk because of the asbestos fibers brought
into the home on their clothing.
Scientists have known about asbestos's carcinogenic (cancer-causing)
properties since the 1930's, but asbestos was a cheap insulator and
fire-proofing material. Corporations continued to put workers and
their families at risk for decades after its lethality was
discovered.
If you or a family member has worked at the following jobs or with
the following materials before the 1980's, then you are at risk.
Most victims are involved with asbestos product plants, insulation
and shipbuilding. Below is a list of industrial sites, occupations,
and products related to asbestos. In addition to workers, family
members may be at risk and should be tested.
