Asbestos was believed to be a miracle mineral because of its ability to withstand heat. Soon, the mineral was used in thousands of products, such as fireproofing and insulation during World War II and throughout the 1950s and 1960s. It was not yet realized the millions of workers were breathing in the invisible to the eye asbestos fibers that remain in the body after inhalation.

Over time, asbestos exposure can cause fatal injuries, including mesothelioma and asbestosis. Mesothelioma is a rare and incurable form of cancer where the cancer cells arise in the lining of the chest wall. Since it can take up to 50 years to develop, many workers were unaware of the lasting health effects the asbestos exposure caused until it was too late. Prognosis for mesothelioma relies heavily on when the cancer is found and how aggressive it is treated, but long-term survival is not associated to a mesothelioma diagnosis.

Legal claims for asbestos related injuries have involved more plaintiffs, defendants and costs than any type of personal injury litigation in the U.S. Though there have been many critics of asbestos litigation claiming the costs are a drain on the economy, for the many workers that have had their lives cut short because of the disease, a mesothelioma attorney helping to recover damages for medical costs and for families left behind have allowed some type of justice to be met. Due to the long period between asbestos exposure and mesothelioma disease onset, people are still being diagnosed and suffering from illnesses.

For the millions of unsuspecting workers exposed to asbestos, a mesothelioma attorney can help answer questions about legal rights and options available.
