Joseph Stembridge's blog ::Maines on "The Asbestos Litigation Master Narrative"










Lung               mesothelioma               is               a               dangerous               killer               disease               that               is               caused               by               exposure               to               asbestos               dust,               in               a               workplace               or               otherwise.

Asbestos               is               widely               used               in               construction               industries,               shipyards,               boiler               constructions,               etc.

The               workers               working               in               these               areas               come               into               contact               with               asbestos               particles               and               asbestos               dust               on               a               regular               basis.

This               surely               leads               to               lung               mesothelioma.

When               the               disease               develops,               the               patient               can               die.

The               inhaled               asbestos               particles               get               caught               in               the               human               lungs.

The               asbestos               fibers               scar               the               lung               tissues               and               decrease               the               lungs'               capability               to               breathe               in               and               out               sufficient               oxygen.

This               causes               chronic               coughing               and               difficulties               in               breathing.

There               might               also               be               some               chest               pain.

It               should               be               noted               that               there               is               no               known               confirmed               cure               for               lung               mesothelioma.

It               can               be               controlled               only               to               some               extent.
               Laws               and               regulations               controlling               the               use               of               industrial               asbestos               have               been               put               in               place               recently.

The               US               Occupational               Safety               and               Health               Act               (OSHA)               now               makes               it               compulsory               for               employers               to               provide               protection               masks               to               workers               coming               into               contact               with               asbestos               particles               at               work.

But               this               deadly               substance               may               have               come               into               contact               with               current               sufferers               of               lung               mesothelioma               before.
               When               you               or               your               family               member               has               contracted               lung               mesothelioma,               and               there               is               reason               to               believe               that               occupational               exposure               to               asbestos               is               the               likely               cause,               then               you               may               be               eligible               for               an               asbestos               litigation               claim.

You               should               consult               a               good               asbestos               attorney               immediately,               to               start               a               likely               litigation               process               against               the               employing               company.

This               is               because               the               company               has               a               duty               to               protect               the               health               of               its               workers.

If               it               is               proved               that               the               company               caused               the               lung               mesothelioma               because               of               inadequate               workplace               safety               precautions,               then               the               company               is               liable               to               pay               compensation               claims.

There               have               been               many               cases               of               compensation               claims               that               have               been               filed               due               to               lung               mesothelioma,               against               many               employers.

In               almost               all               the               cases,               the               judgment               has               been               in               favor               of               the               litigants.
               Asbestos               fibers               are               very               small               and               can               only               be               seen               under               a               microscope.

They               are               odorless,               colorless               and               tasteless.

It               is               possible               that               the               workers               coming               into               contact               with               asbestos               particles               may               not               even               know               about               the               deadly               substance               and               its               likely               effects.
               Companies               that               deal               with               asbestos               in               their               business               are               now               required               to               take               out               workmens'               insurances               to               protect               against               asbestos               exposure.

But               this               is               a               recent               regulation               and               so               patients               who               are               currently               suffering               from               lung               mesothelioma               may               have               been               exposed               to               asbestos               as               far               back               as               1975.

This               is               because               lung               mesothelioma               has               a               long               incubation               time,               sometimes               up               to               35               years               after               asbestos               exposure.
               An               asbestos               law               firm               or               asbestos               attorney               can               advise               you               whether               you               have               the               right               to               file               an               asbestos               lawsuit.

Be               careful               of               the               time               limits               however.

The               time               limits               before               which               an               asbestos               claim               needs               to               be               filed               may               vary               from               state               to               state.

So               it               is               best               to               consult               with               your               asbestos               attorney               what               this               time               period               is,               before               the               litigation               can               be               started.
               Asbestos               exposure               can               also               cause               diseases               other               than               lung               mesothelioma.

These               are               asbestosis               and               lung               cancer.
               In               this               article               we               have               looked               briefly               at               the               litigation               and               law               options               available               if               you               or               your               loved               one               is               suffering               from               or               died               because               of               lung               mesothelioma.
