AN INTRODUCTION TO ASBESTOS AND MESOTHELIOMA

Asbestos is a deadly mineral that has been used in thousands of products. When microscopic asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested, they can cause a number of diseases, including mesothelioma and lung cancer. Of the diseases caused by asbestos, mesothelioma is the most aggressive, attacking the internal lining of the lungs and abdomen. Mesothelioma typically does not develop until decades after the asbestos exposure occurred.

A number of work sites throughout Massachusetts are linked to asbestos exposure including:

Boston

Many buildings and homes throughout Massachusetts carry a high risk of asbestos exposure, because they were constructed and modified long before builders started worrying about asbestos exposure. The state's larger population areas are centered on cities that are among the oldest in the country. These cities are filled homes, schools, government buildings, factories and businesses that are well over a hundred years old. Many of these buildings feature asbestos insulation throughout that poses a significant risk to their inhabitants.

The majority of individuals who have been exposed to asbestos encounter the so-called "magic mineral" in their line of work, often due to inadequate safety precautions. Others are exposed to asbestos indirectly when they come in contact with the clothing of a family member involved in a high-risk asbestos occupation.

Asbestos has been widely used in many industrial products including cement, brake linings, roof shingles, flooring products, textiles, and insulation. When microscopic asbestos dust particles becomes airborne, they can be inhaled or swallowed and can cause serious health issues.

Common work environments where a mesothelioma or cancer patient may have encountered asbestos include shipyards, sheet metal plants, automotive plants, construction sites, and many more. Here is a complete list of occupations that have been linked to asbestos exposure.



GIVING BACK TO MESOTHELIOMA PATIENTS & FAMILIES

In 2010, the Simmons Law Firm established the Simmons Mesothelioma Foundation, a private, non-profit organization dedicated to supporting research and advancing awareness about this rare cancer. The Foundation partners with established experts and thought-leaders in the mesothelioma research field. Learn more about the Foundation's current mesothelioma research partners.

As a long-time supporter of the Mesothelioma Applied Research Foundation and the Asbestos Disease Awareness Organization, the Simmons Law Firm has an extensive history of supporting the fight against mesothelioma and cancer. The firm has also pledged over $10 million to establish the Simmons Cancer Institute at the Southern Illinois University School of Medicine. The institute provides extraordinary new resources to enhance treatments and implement the continuing search for a permanent cure. It is the largest single gift in the history of SIU and establishes the university as home to one of the leading cancer facilities in the United States.

ASBESTOS EXPOSURE IN MASSACHUSETTS TODAY

Asbestos has not yet been banned in the United States. Its use is regulated, but it is still used in products today. Asbestos has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as a human carcinogen. This assessment is supported by the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), both of which believe that the future use of asbestos should be banned.

The following chart shows the higher-risk occupations for malignant mesothelioma along with their corresponding Massachusetts employment numbers.

Occupation Number Employed in Massachusetts, 20061
Plumbers, pipefitters, steamfitters 11,590
Mechanical engineers 6,840
Electricians 14,420
Teachers, elementary school 33,910
Massachusetts has struggled with mesothelioma and other asbestos-related diseases for a number of years. Consider the following:

The Environmental Working Group reported that there were 613 to 973 mesothelioma cases in Massachusetts from 1979 to 2001.2
CDC statistics show Massachusetts's age-adjusted death rate for malignant mesothelioma to be 14.8 deaths per million per year.3
The National Cancer Institute and CDC's state cancer profiles show Massachusetts's 2006 annual incidence rate for lung and bronchus cancers was 64.5 deaths per 100,000.4

Michigan Mesothelioma Attorney

Experienced Lawyers Handling Mesothelioma and Asbestos Cases
When you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or another asbestos-related disease, you want to know that something can be done. Our Michigan mesothelioma lawyers have spent decades handling asbestos cases. We know the manufacturers of the asbestos products involved. We don’t have to start from scratch every time. Our firm has earned a stellar reputation and our results are proof that this reputation is well-earned. Since the early 1980′s, our Michigan mesothelioma lawyers have helped hundreds of people, recovering significant verdicts and settlements  for their pain and suffering, medical bills and lost wages. An experienced mesothelioma lawyer will fight to get you and your family the justice that you deserve against the manufacturers of asbestos products, who knew or should have known of the dangers of asbestos, but failed to warn anyone until it was too late.

Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer.  Most commonly, it develops in the lining surrounding the lungs, in which case it is referred to as pleural mesothelioma. It can also develop in the abdominal cavity, in which case it is referred to as peritoneal mesothelioma. In rare cases, it can develop in the heart, in which cases it is called pericardial mesothelioma.  Mesothelioma is known to be caused by asbestos exposure, and usually takes as long as 20 to 50 years after the initial exposure to develop. For this reason alone, the diagnosis comes as a shock to someone who may have previously been in good health.

Asbestos Lung Cancer
Lung cancer can also be caused by asbestos. Many people who are diagnosed with this disease assume that it is caused by smoking. Doctors may have told them so. However, the combination of asbestos exposure and smoking greatly increases the risk of developing lung cancer.

Other Asbestos-Related Cancers and Asbestosis
In addition to mesothelioma and lung cancer, asbestos exposure can cause or contribute to the development of throat cancer, stomach cancer and colon-rectal cancer. Asbestos exposure can also cause a non-cancerous breathing disorder called “asbestosis”, which is characterized by shortness of breath upon exertion.

There is No Fee Unless You Get Compensation
Our Michigan mesothelioma lawyers are in the business of helping people injured by asbestos exposure. Our mesothelioma attorneys do not get paid unless you get compensation.

The Call is Free. The Advice is Priceless.
Please contact us today to discuss your case with an experienced Michigan asbestos mesothelioma attorney. There is no charge for a consultation. If you are too sick to come to us, we will come to you.

Mesothelioma Attorney Assistance

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma and you are seeking compensation, then finding attorney assistance is the best possible option for you to take. A lawyer who specializes in such cases will be able to take your case to court and present it in a professional manner. Do not make the mistake of trying to go to court yourself and receiving less money than you really should. Instead, hire an attorney so that you will be able to receive the most compensation possible, which is what can and should happen.

Benefits of an Attorney

Finding an attorney to represent your case in court will have a much higher chance or winning a larger claim than if you tried to go to court by yourself. Lawyers are professionals who can present the case in the most excellent way possible, thus increasing the chances of winning a larger lawsuit. While the lawyer will have to be paid, he or she will be able to help you receive more money in the long run, much more than you would receive by representing yourself.

Aside from getting more money in court, finding mesothelioma attorney assistance will help relieve any emotional stress associated with the cancer. You or your family should not have to deal with court filings and events when a lawyer can represent you. An attorney will take care of most dealings with the opposite party so that you do not have to. Avoiding such confrontation in court will ease the effects of even filing a claim in the first place.

 Where to Find Mesothelioma Attorney Assistance

There are one of two places to find a lawyer that will be able to represent your case, either around town or online. Simply look in a phone book for lawyers or law firms that can help you, and you are sure to find someone. Or, you can also perform a search on the Internet for individuals who can help you with your situation.

Make sure to search for an experienced lawyer or firm who already has experience in representing individuals affected by mesothelioma. Searching the phonebook or utilizing the web are both great options, and you will accomplish your goal no matter which route you choose.

You should not have to worry about mesothelioma any more than you have to. Find an attorney today to represent you in court so that you can receive what you deserve.

AN INTRODUCTION TO ASBESTOS AND MESOTHELIOMA

Asbestos is a deadly mineral that has been used in thousands of products. When microscopic asbestos fibers are inhaled or ingested, they can cause a number of diseases, including mesothelioma and lung cancer. Of the diseases caused by asbestos, mesothelioma is the most aggressive, attacking the internal lining of the lungs and abdomen. Mesothelioma typically does not develop until decades after the asbestos exposure occurred.

The majority of individuals who have been exposed to asbestos encounter the so-called "magic mineral" in their line of work, often due to inadequate safety precautions. Others are exposed to asbestos indirectly when they come in contact with the clothing of a family member involved in a high-risk asbestos occupation.

Asbestos has been widely used in many industrial products including cement, brake linings, roof shingles, flooring products, textiles, and insulation. When microscopic asbestos dust particles becomes airborne, they can be inhaled or swallowed and can cause serious health issues.

Common work environments where a mesothelioma or cancer patient may have encountered asbestos include shipyards, oil refineries, sheet metal plants, automotive plants, construction sites, and many more. Here is a complete list of occupations that have been linked to asbestos exposure.
