Asbestos Exposure

Nearly 250,000 people, worldwide, die from asbestos-related illnesses every year. Asbestos exposure can occur from using certain materials and tools in the workplace, and in homes and schools that were built with asbestos-laden products. Individuals exposed to this harmful mineral are at risk of developing asbestos-related illnesses. These include lung cancer and mesothelioma, which can take decades to develop and for symptoms to appear.

Asbestos is a dangerous mineral that was used extensively in construction up until the late 1970s. For this reason, asbestos is still lurking in many places, including homes, commercial buildings, military products, and even schools. The Lanier Law Firm produced the following guide that details asbestos exposure and the cancer it causes. Check it out:

Asbestos-related illnesses can be a shocking diagnosis for those who were unaware of having been exposed. Asbestos manufacturers knowingly exposed workers and the public to asbestos while actively engaging in concealment activities regarding its dangers, making these companies liable.

Most statutes of limitation for filing claims for asbestos-related illnesses begin tolling when the condition is diagnosed rather than when the exposure occurred. Asbestos exposure victims who have developed asbestos-related illnesses have three potential pathways to recovering compensation.
