Nationwide Representation for Mesothelioma Victims

About Mesothelioma and Asbestos Exposure

Malignant mesothelioma is a highly lethal cancer caused by prolonged periods of asbestos exposure.  Many Americans spent years of their lives working and living in close proximity to asbestos without even realizing the danger that they were being exposed to.  There is no cure for mesothelioma, which may appear decades after the asbestos exposure.

At Williams Kherkher, we are deeply sympathetic to the pain and frustration that mesothelioma victims and their families experience.  We are committed to providing effective legal representation to individuals who are suffering because of this devastating condition.

Types of Mesothelioma

Medical science has identified three varieties of mesothelioma, all of which are associated with asbestos exposure.  These are:

• Pleural Mesothelioma
• Peritoneal Mesothelioma
• Pericardial Mesothelioma

Typically, mesothelioma attacks the lungs or abdomen.  It is thought to be caused by the inhalation or accidental swallowing of tiny asbestos particles in the air.  The disease sometimes affects the heart as well, though the causes of this variety of mesothelioma are less clear.

Anyone who worked with or around asbestos could develope one of the harmful forms of mesothelioma cancer.  Because asbestos was used so widely and for so long, an incredibly large number of Americans are thought to be at risk.  Some occupations that be particularly vulnerable to asbestos exposure include:

• Construction workers
• Contract workers
• Factory employees
• Military personnel
• Railroad workers

Besides mesothelioma, asbestos can cause other disorders such as lung cancer and asbestosis.  People who develop these conditions have just as much right as mesothelioma victims to take legal action.  If you or a loved one suspects that asbestos may have played a role in your condition, contact a Mesothelioma attorney right away to discuss your options.
