Mesothelioma/ Asbestos Injury Lawyer in California
Mesothelioma is a rare and serious form of cancer that is usually caused by exposure to asbestos. It can affect the lungs, heart, and abdomen. This cancer is incurable. It also has a long latency period, that is, it may appear even decades after exposure to asbestos.
- Symptoms of asbestos exposure can include:
- shortness of breath
- coughing
- chest pain
- exhaustion
- swallowing difficulties and weight loss
According to Mesothelioma.com, more than 4000 California residents have died from this form of cancer since 1999. That is the highest rate in the nation. If you are struggling with Mesothelioma, you are balancing a number of critical issues.

Asbestos, Mesothelioma, and the Law
These days, the dangers of asbestos are very well known. However, it used to be an extremely common construction material. Even though the EPA banned it in 1989, to this day traces remain in buildings across the country. OSHA estimates that 1.3 million people are exposed to asbestos every year, even though it has been removed from most public and many private buildings. Even trace amounts of asbestos can cause serious health issues.
Who may be held liable for an asbestos injury?
Certain industries are at a much higher risk than others.
These may include:
- shipyards
- factories
- construction
- railroads
- automobile manufacturer
If you’ve worked within these industries in the last 60 years, you may have been exposed to asbestos. You may also have come into contact with it in an older building that was not properly cleared of this material.
Do I Have a Mesothelioma/ Asbestos Case?
It depends on the specific details. In general, our lawyers look for signs of negligence caused by a breach of duty. That means that someone had a duty to care for your well-being and were directly or indirectly responsible for your injury. When contacting us, bring as much detail and documentation as possible. That will help us determine if you have a case worth pursuing.
