  About Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma is a tragic disease that affects between 2,000 and 3,000 new people each year in the United States. If you or a loved one are a victim of mesothelioma, you are likely facing many emotions as you make important treatment and care decisions. Often, the survival time may be only one year. This is because by the time mesothelioma presents symptoms in the patient, it is very advanced. In cases where detection of mesothelioma is early, roughly half of victims will survive two years, and 20% will survive five years. The median survival is about 17 months from the beginning of symptoms. Most mesothelioma cases are directly related to asbestos exposure. However, inhalation of asbestos fibers does not immediately cause asbestos cancer - it may take twenty years or more for mesothelioma symptoms to begin.

  Financial Aspects of a Mesothelioma Diagnosis

Many families of mesothelioma patients fear enormous medical bills and sometimes the loss of a primary breadwinner. Taking legal action may be the last thing the family members wish to do during such a difficult time. However, while compensation certainly cannot take away the pain of losing a loved one, a mesothelioma lawsuit or settlement can cover costs of medical treatment, lost wages, funeral expenses, and the pain and suffering of the victim and loved ones. Many mesothelioma patients and their families experience outrage that asbestos was used, especially when its cancer causing effects were known so long ago. Our lawyers fully advocate banning asbestos and setting up funds to help victims and their families receive compensation for their treatment, income loss, pain and suffering.

  Who Gets Mesothelioma

Most cases of mesothelioma are in men aged 50-70 years who worked in occupations where they were exposed to asbestos, including: shipyard workers, auto mechanics, boiler makers, bricklayers, building inspectors, carpenters, drywallers, electricians, flooring workers, tile setters, furnace workers, glazers, grinders, insulators, iron workers, laborers, longshoremen, merchant marines, U.S. Navy veterans, maintenance workers, millwrights, operating engineers, painters, plasterers, plumbers, roofers, sand blasters, steam or pipe fitters, and welders. However, spouses of workers and children may have inhaled asbestos fibers brought home from job sites on clothing. We have worked with many women and children who developed mesothelioma as a result of their husbandsí exposure at work. Families of exposed workers often win large settlement awards.
