Mesothelioma: Do Fortune 500 Companies owe you money?

Manufacturers' Dirty Secret

Many people who have had occupational exposure to asbestos develop malignant Mesothelioma or other asbestos related injuries. The hazardous nature of this substance was known by most manufacturers and failed to disclose the health risks to their customers.

Mesothelioma and other asbestos related injuries have long latency periods. Even though an individual's exposure to asbestos may have occured over 40 years ago, they may still develop malignant Mesothelioma, since the body never completely rids itself of asbestos. The asbestos continues to cause damage to your body even after you are no longer exposed.

When asbestos deteriorates the fibers are released into the air and can be inhaled by individuals, which may scare the lungs and restrict an individuals ability to breath properly.

Mesothelioma Risk Factors

In most cases, the longer an individual has been exposed to asbestos and the frequency of the exposure increases the likelyhood of developing Mesothelioma. However, even a small amount of exposure to asbestos containing products could cause the same effects as those who have been exposed for a longer period of time.

Many construction workers face increased risk and exposure through the removal of asbestos during renovations and demolitions of older homes and buildings. Employees outside of the construction industry are also at risk of being exposed to asbestos.

At Risk for Asbestos Industies:

Construction Workers
Isulation Manufacturers
Textiles
Automotive Break and Clutch Repair Work
Friction Products
Many of Building Products

Mesothelioma Class Action And Compesation

In order to obtain compesation for developing Mesothelioma through the exposure to asbestos, requires immediate action on the part of the patient or loved one. The statutory guidelines state that you must file a claim within a few years of being diagnosed.

If asbestos related injuries have caused the death of a loved one, the executor of the patient's estate can file a claim within a short time of the patient's death.

A claim may also be filed if an individual has been diagnosed with Mesothelioma caused by secondary exposure through their contact (via clothes) with an individual working in an asbestos related industry.
