Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma And Asbestosis Can Be Deadly

Mesothelioma is a cancer that attacks the protective lining surrounding the body’s internal organs. While it is a rare form of cancer, in an estimated 70% to 80% of cases, exposure to asbestos is involved. In this respect, there is little question that exposure to asbestos can lead to lung cancer or mesothelioma. However, even though decades of research have established a causal link, manufacturers of asbestos to this day still challenge mesothelioma personal injury claims.

Manufacturer Liability – Presenting Your Mesothelioma Case

Manufacturers understand the relationship between asbestos exposure and mesothelioma. However, when challenging mesothelioma claims, they often try and argue a pre-existing condition or years of smoking and poor health are the cause. That’s why our attorneys work with mesothelioma experts and other medical professionals in establishing our client’s case. Even if you suffer from other medical problems, a review of your medical records and timeline involving your exposure to asbestos can often establish a critical link in supporting your claim.

Determining Who Is Responsible

Our law firm has access to data listing manufacturers of asbestos, the years in which they were operational, as well as the companies and worksites they provided asbestos for. If the factory you worked in is now closed or if you’ve thrown away asbestos-containing products long ago, we may be able to determine who the manufacturer of the asbestos was that you were exposed to.
