Mesothelioma Claims Make Big News Across The Globe

By Ray Cleeves


In the early eighteen hundreds, ship builders used asbestos to construct their vessels. Asbestos, is a slender, needle shaped silicate fiber. The fibers are an environmental national occurrence that appears in natural resources. The quantity we receive in the resources is not enough to make us sick. Illnesses related to lung disorders and rare cancer types, stipulated in Mesothelioma claims, states over exposure to the product in work facilities increased the risk for lung disease.

In the early eighteenth century, ship builders used asbestos to manufacture vessels. The quality, yet harmful substance has been manufactured as far back as Pharaoh times. In the early nineteen hundreds, manufacturing companies were made aware of the imposed dangers to employees but a conspiracy of silence was initiated. At any rate, the monetary value was of greater concern to those companies, than the health risk inflicted on the employees. The ongoing disease mesothelioma claims thousands of lives each year. It takes decades for the disease to appear once the needle like fibers enter into the lung, heart or stomach linings.The results are usually devastating.

The death rate of many people who worked in the auto industry, coal mines, and building construction, to point out a few, lies directly at the fault of companies who swore secrecy and did nothing to change the environment to safe keep the employees. Not until the nineteen seventies, did an environmental group get involved, At that time the product, which was unregulated, was contritely banned from use in a number of consumer products. Acknowledgment of illnesses and death rates rising in industries where the material was used, apparently gave no credence to the group, as the manufacturers continued usage.

Once again, due to the illnesses and death rates reported for those who worked with the poison, the environmental group took another step. In nineteen eighty six all new use of the product was banned. But, the group indicated the old product may still be used. The products are still imported and in use today.

According to reports, cases of the recurrent malady has reached its apex. Another report by an Epidemiology group, proves the first report inaccurate, claiming in fifty one years, more than seventy thousand cases will raise its ugly head. The final report concentrated on the world trade center attack, and the people who were perchance affected due to debris in the air. In addition, the report claims that in America over seven thousand schools and public buildings have asbestos products within the structures.

The disease has allegedly been handed down to family members of those who work in an asbestos environment. The tiny fibers attach themselves to clothing, hair skin and shoe soles and are transported into various homes. The family members can contact the disease from the fibers. A number of mesothelioma claims have been filed due to contacted illness from second hand exposure.

In many legal cases mesothelioma claims have been written to state, the disease can be contacted if living in close proximity to those who work in an infected industry. The tiny fibers are transported from workplace to home on clothing, in hair and on shoe soles. Thus infecting the homes interior and those who reside in the home.

Lawyers around the world have researched contributing factors to illnesses and relevant diseases caused by silicate fibers entering the internal cavities of the human body. Libraries on this particular disease, are office accessible to the attorneys who work closely with those who have contacted the disorder. For the many lives lost in the past, who were misdiagnosed with pneumonia or tuberculosis, there are other options in this age, both medically and legally. On a daily basis, somewhere in the world, sick people seek out a lawyer to make a mesothelioma claim against a company. The life span of those affected with the disease may not be long enough to see the case go to court, but their loved ones also have the opportunity to sue those disrespecting companies, who without cause, other than their own gain, kept their employees uninformed.
