Nebraska Mesothelioma Asbestos Exposure Attorneys

Nebraska Mesothelioma Lawyers

Beginning around the start of World War Two, the use of asbestos in the United States skyrocketed. This naturally occurring material has excellent heat and electrical resistance. It is also strong and can be used in a wide variety of materials to provide low cost, highly effective insulation. However, exposure to asbestos particles is known to cause mesothelioma, a deadly type of cancer. Exposure occurs when microscopic asbestos particles are inhaled and lodge in the lungs.

Mesothelioma affects the lining around the lungs and is highly malignant. It readily spreads to the abdomen and other organs. Mesothelioma is an insidious disease that usually does not show any signs of symptoms for 20 years or more after exposure to asbestos. Once the symptoms appear, the disease is so far advanced that the prognosis is not good. Most mesothelioma victims will not live more than a year or two after diagnosis.

One of the great tragedies of mesothelioma is that it could have been easily prevented by taking simple protective measures. However, even though most employers and manufacturers were well aware of the health hazards posed by exposure to asbestos, they continued using asbestos laden products without warning their employees or providing any protective equipment.

At our Nebraska law firm, we are committed to holding those employers and manufacturers accountable for their reprehensible behavior. These companies decided that making a profit was more important than the health of their employees' health. We fight hard every day to recover damages for our clients from these manufacturers. We also pursue every avenue for getting our clients the compensation they are entitled to under the worker's compensation laws, maritime laws, or any other source.
