ALABAMA MESOTHELIOMA CANCER ATTORNEY
May 21, 2010 – Compared with other states in the country, Alabama ranks No. 19 for asbestos-related deaths, with most of the mortalities centered in the industrial urban hubs of Birmingham and Mobile.
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), a nonprofit public information organization headquartered in Washington, D.C., reviewed all asbestos-related deaths from mesothelioma and asbestosis, as reported to the federal government through death certificate records filed from 1979 to 2001.
Mesothelioma statistics
According to the EWG, at least 741 people have been killed by asbestos in Alabama during that period, with more residents dying from asbestosis (507 deaths) than from mesothelioma (248 to 410 deaths).
Mesothelioma is the signature asbestos-related cancer and it is diagnosed in approximately 3,000 people every year in this country.
Thousands of retired workers diagnosed with occupational asbestos disease have filed asbestos claims against asbestos product manufacturers who neglected to warn consumers of the hazards of working with their products.
