Asbestos Cancer and the Law
From the 1930s through the 1970s, tens of thousands of individuals, including union workers, were exposed to asbestos, mostly in the workplace. Those with jobs such as shipbuilder, construction worker, contractor, insulator, welder, oil refinery worker, chemical plant employee, railroad engineer, auto mechanic, and a host of other occupations were regularly exposed to asbestos on the job. As a result, many hardworking individuals developed serious asbestos diseases, including mesothelioma, a tough-to-fight cancer that continues to claim lives.
Those who worked with asbestos were rarely informed that the material was toxic and that their health was being compromised, despite the fact that executives at companies nationwide knew that hazardous asbestos was making their employees sick. Hence, no protection was provided and workers regularly breathed in dangerous asbestos fibers. Years later, many of these individuals would discover they had asbestosis - or worse - mesothelioma cancer.
The willing exposure of people to known toxins such as asbestos is, in the end, a matter of gross negligence. Employers who allowed exposure to this hazardous material were literally stealing the good health of their workers, resulting in the loss of quality of life for many individuals who would eventually be affected by mesothelioma. Furthermore, spouses, children, and other family members would also face the risk of acquiring mesothelioma through secondhand exposure. Those who grew up near asbestos plants or mines may have also suffered from exposure, not recognizing until years later that their close relationship with toxic asbestos would make them gravely ill.
If you or a loved one is suffering from an asbestos cancer such as malignant mesothelioma, you need the support and proven results of a firm like Early, Ludwick, Sweeney and Strauss. Skilled in presenting the facts, ELSS attorneys know the ins and outs of mesothelioma litigation and will strive to produce the kind of results that can help relieve the burden of a life with mesothelioma.
As with your mesothelioma treatment, time is also of essence when filing an asbestos-related lawsuit. Though laws vary from state to state, statutes of limitations may prohibit any legal action after a fixed period of time. Once an individual is diagnosed with mesothelioma, prompt action is required in order to stage a successful lawsuit against those who were responsible for your exposure to this hazardous mineral. Individuals considering filing a lawsuit should act quickly, increasing their chances for obtaining the compensation they deserve.
