Mesothelioma is an incredibly aggressive form of cancer that is caused by the inhalation of asbestos. If these fibers lodge in the linings of the heart, lungs, or abdomen, there is a high risk for the development of Mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer caused specifically by Asbestos. The King Firm has worked with many people that have been negatively affected by asbestos in the workplace. We are confident that we can secure the fair compensation you deserve to help battle this rare form of cancer.
Asbestos – once a common, naturally-occurring mineral substance that was used as an ingredient in American manufacturing and construction – has been responsible for thousands upon thousands of cases of Mesothelioma: because of this, Asbestos is no longer used in construction materials. Despite the retraction of this substance from the marketplace, new cases of Mesothelioma emerge each year due to years of exposure.
Asbestos was once mixed into plastic, paper, cloth, and cement to make materials stronger. Asbestos was also used as an effective insulator. Industry executives were aware of the health dangers for decades, yet they covered up the negative consequences of prolonged exposure to this substance. This is why so many workers are fairly entitled to compensation for their injuries. If microscopic fibers of Asbestos become trapped in the human body, it can cause disease and damage over time, often leading to Mesothelioma.
Asbestos is composed of many different silicate minerals and the United States government recognizes six different types of Asbestos. In 1986, the Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA) called for immediate action and removal of asbestos-containing material that had the potential to expose 15 million students and 1.4 million school employees to disease.
Funnily enough, the United States still remains one of the only countries that has not banned Asbestos entirely. Currently, it is still legal to include asbestos in almost all types of American products as long as the product does not contain more than 1% of asbestos. Many buildings and machines in the U.S. still contain high-percentage asbestos products that were made before the modern regulations took effect. If an employer has been running a company and has not performed the proper safety maintenance and inspections, you may be liable for compensation. Asbestos remains a threat to the health of people living in the United States and around the globe. Asbestos is the #1 cause of occupational cancer in the world.
Symptoms of mesothelioma can include fever or night sweats, pain in the chest or abdomen, respiratory complications, shortness of breath, dry coughing, fatigue, weakness in the muscles, and pleural effusion. Since Mesothelioma latency is around 20-50 years (the time from exposure to diagnosis), it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of the disease.
We have helped countless individuals obtain compensation for damages caused by asbestos exposure. If you believe that you were unwittingly subjected to asbestos exposure due to negligence on behalf of a property or business owner, contact The King Firm today.
