Asbestos Industry Lies

There is evidence that the manufacturers of asbestos knew about the risk this dangerous substance posed to workers long before they did anything to ensure safe working conditions. By the 1930s, asbestos companies were aware that inhalation of asbestos fibers increased the risk of developing serious health problems. However, documentation has revealed that the manufacturers of asbestos concealed its dangers to consumers in order to maintain the sales of their products.

From the 1940s to the 1960s, medical and scientific journals began to establish an association between asbestos exposure and mesothelioma. Researchers found that individuals exposed to asbestos fibers developed mesothelioma at a higher rate than individuals who were not exposed. As these findings were revealed and the number of mesothelioma cases grew, victims and attorneys began to hold asbestos companies responsible for their negligent actions through asbestos litigation.

Because asbestos companies knew their products were hazardous to their employees' health, mesothelioma cases in which the plaintiff can prove asbestos exposure can result in significant monetary recompense. Hiring an experienced mesothelioma attorney can greatly increase your chances of being awarded compensation. Contact The Nemeroff Law Firm today for a review of your case.

Mesothelioma diagnosis is a life-changing event with serious health and legal implications. The first thing on one’s mind when battling a life-threatening illness may not be a lawsuit, but the cold truth is that mesothelioma patients have a serious disease that, in most cases, could have been prevented. Companies that produced asbestos products, or whose employees regularly worked around asbestos, were often aware of the risks their employees were unknowingly taking every day. These negligent actions have led to the proliferation of thousands of cases of asbestos disease including asbestosis and mesothelioma.

Seeking legal assistance from a qualified asbestos attorney may help you get the compensation you need for yourself and your family.
