Mesothelioma

FREE CASE REVIEW

If you have been diagnosed with Mesothelioma then knowing your legal rights is critical. Mesothelioma is almost always caused by exposure to asbestos. While many people have been exposed to asbestos on the job, this is not always how exposure occurs.

Family members of those who worked with asbestos have often been exposed when, for example, doing laundry. The fine asbestos particles brought home from clothing worn on the job can harm anyone who comes in contact with them.

The mesothelium is a lining which covers the body's internal organs. It is here that mesothelioma causes its devastating effects and also where the name is derived form. Because cancer may occur anywhere in the mesothelium, it does not always affect the lungs but may occur in the abdominal cavity as well.

Millions of workers were exposed to asbestos at their workplace both before and after the dangers associated with inhaling asbestos were known. Family members were often exposed when a worker brought contaminated clothing home each day. Simply doing the laundry for a spouse working with asbestos could therefore cause one to be at risk for mesothelioma.
