Michigan personal injury lawyers representing clients in asbestos exposure cases handle claims for individuals diagnoses with a type of cancer called mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is closely linked to exposure to asbestos & mdash; a natural fiber that was once used in manufacturing a wide variety of industrial and household products. Mesothelioma rates have increased during the past 20 years in response to the widespread use of asbestos in the past. Many industrialized countries now limit asbestos use and enforce laws to protect workers who may be exposed.
Most individuals injured by or have died from mesothilioma were exposed when asbestos-containing products were installed or replaced. Tradesman often had to saw, cut, and pound the products, a process that emitted billions of microscopic asbestos fibers into the atmosphere. As a result, anyone in the vicinity of the work was at risk for breathing the fibers and developing disease. Furthermore, family members could be exposed when the worker came home covered with asbestos dust.
Mesothelioma signs and symptoms may include shortness of breath, painful breathing, chest pain under the rib cage, unusual lumps of tissue under the skin on your chest, unexplained weight loss, dry cough, abdominal pain, abdominal swelling, a change in your bowel habits, such as more frequent diarrhea or constipation, lumps of tissue in the abdomen and unexplained weight loss.
In many jurisdictions, mesothilioma cases are given high priority by the court system, especially if the client is still living. If you have been exposed to asbestos as a result of it being present in your home or at your place of work, contact a Michigan Lawyer immediately to discuss your rights.
