Nevada Mesothelioma Asbestos Exposure Attorneys
Nevada Mesothelioma LawyersThe only known cause of mesothelioma, a cancer that attacks the lining of the body's cavities, is asbestos exposure. Asbestos is found in insulation materials that were frequently used in shipbuilding, power plants, oil rigs, construction, pipefitting, and many other industrial settings. The US Navy used a large amount of asbestos insulation in their shipyards. Oil refineries and off shore oil rigs also have used large amounts of asbestos insulation and it was commonly used in many materials used in the construction industry. Despite knowing in the 1950s that asbestos was causing health problems, it wasn't until 1989 that the government intervened and limited asbestos exposure for employees. Until then, employers continued to place employees and their families at risk day in and out by having them work with asbestos insulation without informing them of the risks or providing protective equipment. Reno Asbestos LawsuitInsulation workers have the highest rate of asbestos related diseases. In fact, at least 6% of all employees who have had exposure to asbestos fibers or dust at work are likely to either develop mesothelioma or chronic breathing problems. If you have worked with asbestos, you are 300 times more likely to develop mesothelioma than someone who was never exposed. Unfortunately, your family is also at an increased risk. Every single time you hugged your children when coming home from work, or when your wife did your wash, they were exposed to asbestos particles that clung to your clothing or skin or hair. Because mesothelioma takes so long to develop, you are more likely to be diagnosed at the end of your career, or at the beginning of your retirement. Instead of being able to relax and enjoy retirement, your time will be spent fighting a disease.
