We Help Patients Diagnosed With Mesothelioma Get Compensation!  

Malignant Mesothelioma is rare cancer that affects the abdomen, lining of lungs, heart and major organs of the body. Mesothelioma cancer is caused by exposure to asbestos through the ingestion or inhalation of toxic microscopic asbestos fibers.  

Once Inhaled or ingested asbestos fibers get lodged in body tissue causing inflammation which leads to the development of Mesothelioma cancer. These microscopic asbestos fibers can lay dormant in your body for 10-50 years.    

Asbestos manufacturing companies knew of the deadly effects of asbestos exposure as far back as 1924 when the first Mesothelioma case was recorded in medical journals.  

Bus manufacturers also knew as far back as the early 1960s that second-hand asbestos exposure to the families of workers could also cause Mesothelioma and lung cancer.

Typically, Mesothelioma is diagnosed after a person goes to their doctor about symptoms they are having. Diagnosing Mesothelioma at an early stage is vital to have the best outcome possible with treatment.  

Since Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer, it is crucial for patients to be examined by a doctor who specializes in Mesothelioma cancer.
