Understanding Mesothelioma
The story of mesothelioma is a tragic one dating back as far as the 1930s according to some estimates. The product that contributes most to mesothelioma cases is asbestos, which has been used in manufacturing and commerce in America for decades. There is tangible evidence that many people were exposed to this harmful substance despite the fact that supervisors and business owners knew of its harmful effects. Many have pointed to corporate greed as a reason for this issue—while others have suggested it was simply ignorance. Regardless of the reason, it is clear that the damage that asbestos can cause is lethal. Mesothelioma cases have led to lawsuits and mesothelioma claims by mesothelioma lawyers against large companies.
Examples of clients who have been impacted by mesothelioma:
- electricians
- mechanics
- plumbers
- sheet metal workers
- construction workers
- boilermakers
Exposure to asbestos can come from (but not limited to):
- adhesives
- cement
- brakes
- clutches
- gaskets
- pipe covering
- pipe insulation
- cement wallboard
