The Dangers of Asbestos Exposure

Asbestos is a silicate mineral that is naturally resistant to heat, electricity, and corrosion. It is also incredibly strong and effective in insulating, causing it to be widely used in construction and building materials for decades. However, the very qualities that make asbestos so popular in construction and product manufacturing are the ones that make it so harmful.

When disturbed, asbestos releases microscopic fibers in the air. These fibers can then be breathed into the lungs or ingested. Asbestos fibers can become lodged in the lining around the lungs, stomach, heart, and other areas of the body. This, in turn, leads to a number of issues, including illness and cancer.

Some of the illnesses and conditions associated with asbestos exposure include:

  • Asbestosis
  • Pleuritis
  • Pleural effusions
  • Diffuse pleural thickening
  • Pleural plaques
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
  • Mesothelioma

All of these conditions can result in significant pain and physical suffering and, in some cases, they can even be life-threatening.

What Is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer caused by asbestos exposure. It occurs when asbestos fibers are ingested or breathed in where they can then become embedded in the protective lining (“mesothelium”) around the lungs, stomach, heart, and other areas. Over time, these fibers cause irritation, leading to inflammation and cancerous cell growth.

The latency period, meaning the amount of time fibers can remain in the body before presenting symptoms, is extremely long. As a result, many individuals with mesothelioma do not receive a diagnosis until cancer has progressed significantly.

Those most at risk for developing mesothelioma include:

  • Construction workers
  • Shipbuilders
  • Aviation workers/mechanics
  • Demolition workers
  • Drywall installers
  • Mill workers
  • Automobile mechanics
  • Firefighters
  • Power/chemical plant workers

Notably, veterans who served from the 1930s through the 1970s are some of the most at-risk individuals when it comes to developing mesothelioma. This is because the U.S. military used asbestos-containing products for fire protection, exposing service members to high levels of asbestos. According to some studies, U.S. veterans make up about 30% of all new mesothelioma diagnoses in the country.

Who Is Liable for Asbestos Exposure & Mesothelioma?

The asbestos industry has been aware of the risks of asbestos exposure since the turn of the 20th Century. Despite the documented dangers, however, asbestos manufacturers continued creating and distributing asbestos-containing products until the 1970s. In fact, believe it or not, asbestos is still not outlawed in the U.S., though it is heavily regulated.

In response to the many injury claims and lawsuits filed for asbestos exposure and resulting damages, asbestos manufacturers began setting aside trusts to pay victims. As a result, those who are diagnosed with mesothelioma or other asbestos-related illnesses, or the loved ones of those who die due to these illnesses/conditions, do not necessarily need to file lawsuits in order to recover compensation for their damages.

Why You Need an Asbestos Attorney

Though you may be entitled to compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, disability, pain and suffering, and other damages, it is not always a simple matter of filing for and collecting damages. In fact, the liable party may very well dispute, devalue, or outright deny your claim. Having an attorney on your side can make all the difference in the outcome of your case.
