Mesothelioma and Asbestos Attorneys in Alabama
Law Offices in Montgomery, Alabama
Mesothelioma is a rare and deadly form of lung cancer. The major cause of mesothelioma in the United States is exposure to asbestos, which was widely used as a fire retardant in many industrial settings and in insulation materials until health authorities banned it as a health danger in the 1980s.
Many workers suffered asbestos exposure over the years, particularly those who held factory jobs or who worked in demolition, insulation, shipbuilding, carpentry, and other areas where they came into contact with asbestos dust or fibers. Family members of those exposed to asbestos in the workplace often also suffered exposure from laundering clothes and other contact.
Every year, 2,500 people are diagnosed with a type of mesothelioma, sometimes tied to exposures that occurred 15 to 40 years ago. This long latency period (the length of time it takes for mesothelioma to develop) can make it difficult to successfully prosecute mesothelioma cases.
