What is Mesothelioma?
The National Cancer Institute states that: "Malignant mesothelioma is a disease
in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the sac lining the chest (the
pleura), the lining of the abdominal cavity (the peritoneum) or the lining
around the heart (the pericardium). Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that is fire
resistant, chemically resistant, strong, and flexible. It is nonconductive and
thus useful as an insulating material. Asbestos is found in six forms:
chrysotile (white asbestos), amosite (brown asbestos), crocidolite (blue
asbestos), anthophyllite, tremolite, and actinolite. (The last three are rare.)
Before extensive bans, chrysotile comprised roughly 95 percent of the asbestos
in use. Asbestos dust is dangerous when inhaled because tiny, needle shaped
asbestos particles become lodged in the lungs, causing damage and often cancer.
How do you get Mesothelioma?
Most people with malignant mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they breathed
asbestos. Some have been exposed to asbestos in a household environment, often
without realizing it.
How long does it take after exposure for mesothelioma to show up?
People exposed in the 1940s through the 1970s are now being diagnosed with
mesothelioma because of the long latency period of asbestos disease.
What is the prognosis for mesothelioma?
Like most cancers, the prognosis for this mesothelioma often depends on how
early it is diagnosed and how aggressively it is treated.
Is there any promising research or are there promising drugs for mesothelioma?
Research is being conducted at various cancer centers all over the United States
as well as by pharmaceutical companies. A recent study of Alimta showed patients
living much longer with Alitma than other chemotherapy drugs.
Reasons to Hire a Mesothelioma Lawyer
You need professional help to fight for your injury.
You should not have to worry about your violated personal injury rights.
You should be able to concentrate on getting better and not spending your time
at the courthouse or with your mesothelioma lawyer.
Do I really need a Mesothelioma Lawyer?
This is the first question you should ask yourself. In some cases, you can
handle the problem without hiring a lawyer. If the problem is small and can be
handled without the advice of mesothelioma lawyers, then you can usually find
the right forms and resources to help you at a legal portal. However, if the
situation involves a major problem than you probably need a mesothelioma injury
lawyer.
What kind of Lawyer do I need?
A lot of lawyers specialize in one area of the law. General practitioners,
however, have a wide range of matters that they handle. If your legal matter
involves a specialized area of law like family, bankruptcy, taxation, or patent
laws, then you need to contact a specialist. If you are dealing with a general
matter, then a general practice lawyer should be able to help you. Make sure to
ask your attorney whether he or she specializes in an area of law before you
decide to hire them.
