Asbestos is used by manufacturers who are aware of the health risks associated with it such as mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma is a cancer that is very difficult to treat.  Many years can pass between exposure to asbestos and the appearance of cancerous symptoms.  Complicating mesothelioma treatment is the malignant nature of the cancer; once symptoms surface, current therapeutic treatments are usually no longer effective and post-diagnosis survival rates typically range from four months to a year.

This web site provides free information about asbestos and its health consequences and legal issues. There are hundreds of companies that exposed workers in many professions to this devastating and incurable disease.  For instance, people who worked in or around military installations, or in the automotive, construction, or chemical industries now exhibit the first signs of mesothelioma due to exposure to asbestos.

Asbestos was used for decades as insulation thousands of buildings, offices, churches, and schools, potentially exposing millions of innocent people to this deadly cancer.  People are now cleaning up and disposing asbestos which is increasing exposure rates.  Most doctors and medical experts agree that there will be tens of thousands of new cases of mesothelioma due to asbestos exposure in the years to come.

If you are suffering from mesothelioma, or have lost a loved one to the disease, you may have the right to receive monetary compensation from the asbestos industry that failed to adequately warn consumers of the grave risks associated with their products.  You may be eligible to file a claim if you are a grieving family member or executor of the estate of a person who has died from an asbestos-related disease or mesothelioma.
