Mesothelioma is a very aggressive and dangerous form of cancer in which malignant cells are found in the mesothelium, a protective sac that covers most of the internal organs in the body. The malignant cells are harmful to the body, are likely to spread and will likely cause death or severe illness if untreated. Mesothelioma is extremely rare and is almost always associated with asbestos exposure.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, it is important to look at your past to determine whether asbestos exposure may be the cause. Continued exposure to asbestos either at work or in your home environment may cause mesothelioma. If this was the case for you or your family member you may be able to recover significant financial compensation. A mesothelioma attorney can review your situation, determine what your case may be worth and who you can file a suit against.
A history of occupational asbestos exposure has been reported in approximately 70% to 80% of all mesothelioma cases. However, a person may be exposed to asbestos in other environments, as this substance was used in a number of industrial products, including insulation, flooring products, cement, textiles and more. When asbestos particles are released in the air, particularly in the manufacturing process, workers or other people may inhale or swallow these particles. In addition to mesothelioma, asbestos exposure causes an increased risk of lung cancer, chronic lung problems, asbestosis and other cancers.
