Mesothelioma and Asbestosis Cases Require an Experienced Lawyer

The lawyers of Jim S. Hall & Associates are experienced in the handling of mesothelioma and asbestosis cases. 

Mesothelioma is a form of cancer.  In this disease, malignant cells can develop in the protective lining that cover most of the bodies internal organs, most commonly in the lungs and around the heart.  Most people who develop mesothelioma have worked in jobs where they inhaled asbestos particles or have been exposed to asbestos dust and fiber in other ways.  Washing the clothes of a family member who worked with asbestos can also put a person at risk for developing mesothelioma. 

Mesothelioma typically goes undetected until the final stages when it is too late to treat.  Asbestosis is another illness caused by asbestos exposure.  It is more common than mesothelioma.  Asbestosis is not cancer but it can kill you.  The exposure to asbestos probably occurred some time ago, as much as 20-50 years ago.  The victims have a history of working in or as:

• Navy/Armed Forces
• Boilermakers
• Shipyards
• Electricians
• Chemical Plant Workers
• Carpentry
• Power Plant Workers
• Roofing
• Steel Workers
• Insulation
• Pipefitters
• Construction
• Refinery Workers
• Automotive industries
• Welders

If someone in your family has been diagnosed with mesothelioma or asbestosis, or even if that family member has died, your family may still be entitled to make a claim against the companies that manufactured or used asbestos, knowingly exposing their workers and the general public to this deadly substance.
