Mesothelioma and Asbestosis in Industrial Workers, Coal Miners And Others
Industrial workers in shipyards and factories of all types, including automotive factories, faced daily exposure to asbestos up until fairly recently when this material was banned. Miners of all types, including coal miners, have also had to deal with asbestos exposure. This exposure may have come from working directly with asbestos in the products being manufactured, or from using equipment that contains asbestos. Factory workers, miners and all others may be entitled to compensation if asbestos exposure has led to a disease.
The Cause Of Mesothelioma And Asbestosis
These diseases are primarily caused by the inhalation of asbestos fibers. The fibers travel through small air passages to the lining of the lungs, where they cause the serious damage that leads to pleural mesothelioma. If the asbestos fibers are swallowed, they can make their way to the lining of the abdominal cavity, where they play a role in the development of peritoneal mesothelioma.
Investigation of Asbestos-Related Lung Disease Claims
Diagnosis of mesothelioma or asbestosis may occur decades after exposure. Our attorneys are experienced in going back through a worker’s history to determine where the exposure took place, finding the responsible party and taking action. Once we complete the investigation our experienced West Virginia Coal Mining Injury Attorneys will work with you to complete your asbestos-related lung disease claim.
We work on a contingent fee basis. We do not get paid unless you do.
