Iowa Mesothelioma Asbestos Exposure Attorneys
Iowa Mesothelioma LawyersExposure to asbestos particles such as dust or fibers is the only known cause of mesothelioma, a deadly form of cancer that forms in the lining around the heart, lungs, abdomen and other organs. Mesothelioma is an insidious disease that takes 20 to 50 years from the exposure to asbestos to the development of any symptoms. By the time the disease is detected, it is so far advanced that treatment is usually not effective and life expectancy is short. One of the most tragic aspects of mesothelioma is that most victims were exposed to asbestos on the job. For years, asbestos was used throughout the manufacturing, construction, and shipbuilding industries in a wide variety of applications. Despite the fact that most manufacturers were aware of the danger of asbestos exposure, they continued to expose their employees to asbestos in order to maintain their profits.
