Mississippi Mesothelioma Lawyers

Asbestos was once commonly used in building materials, pipe insulation, household appliances, and many other applications for its heat resistance, strength, sound deadening qualities, and low cost. It is now recognized as a highly toxic material and its use has been banned because exposure to asbestos fibers and dust can cause mesothelioma, a deadly form of cancer.

Regrettably, the hazards of asbestos exposure were well known to many employers and manufacturers for years before they were forced to stop using asbestos in their products. Although asbestos use ended almost entirely in the United States by the early 1980's, the effects of asbestos exposure are still being felt today. It takes twenty to fifty years from the asbestos exposure before the symptoms of mesothelioma begin to appear. Workers and their families who were exposed to asbestos in the 1970's and 1980's are just now being diagnosed with mesothelioma.

In Mississippi, tens of thousands of workers were exposed to asbestos in the shipbuilding, construction, and oil and gas industries. Asbestos was heavily used as an insulating material for pipes and machinery and in wallboard, building insulation, and acoustic ceiling tiles. In addition, these workers' families were exposed to the asbestos dust brought home on their clothing and hair.

Most employers and manufacturers who used asbestos and exposed workers to this hazardous material were aware of the health risks posed by asbestos exposure, yet most of them did nothing to warn or protect their workers. Instead, they continued using asbestos until they were forced to stop by the early 1980's.
