Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma, defined here to include all cancers specified as mesothelioma or with a primary-site pleura, is rare and has a high fatality rate . Exposure to asbestos is the most common cause of mesothelioma: more than 80% of men with mesothelioma were likely exposed to asbestos in the workplace. Workplace exposure to asbestos continues in Canada, primarily in the mining and construction sectors.

Mesothelioma lung cancer is caused when a person is directly exposed to asbestos or asbestos dust. Till the mid 1970s an enormous amount of asbestos was used for building work and hundreds of people have experienced this exposure. If you have been diagnosed with asbestos related mesothelioma, an asbestos cancer lawyer can help you to get the compensation that you deserve.
It is bad enough to be suffering from cancer, but at least you don’t have to suffer the burden of the expense of treatment. There have been a number of successful cases where lawyers and attorneys have been able to pursue settlements for the victims and their families.

Asbestos was very useful but extremely dangerous for the people who worked with it, because when the fibers of asbestos are inhaled, the lungs can get affected with cancer. Even wives and children who have come into contact with the relative’s overalls can get the disease. Asbestos related diseases take many years to develop, and there are many types of asbestos related conditions which vary with severity.

If you develop any asbestos related condition and if it can be proved that you were exposed to the asbestos because it was someone else’s fault, you can be entitled to an asbestos personal injury claim for compensation.
