Asbestos in Lehigh County, PA: Those With Serious Asbestos Illnesses Need an Experienced Lawyer

When residents of Lehigh County, PA learn they have been diagnosed with an asbestos disease, they need to find quality medical care. However, they also need the help of a highly experienced asbestos lawyer to help them pursue a lawsuit against the manufacturers of the asbestos products that caused their illness.

Exposure to asbestos is known to cause serious diseases such as mesothelioma, asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis.

Asbestos disease can strike anyone who has been exposed to the dangerous carcinogen. Those who worked in construction or other industries where they had daily contact with asbestos-containing products were at risk.  Those who spent their careers working in schools or other buildings where asbestos dusts could become airborne are also at risk.  Wives of construction industry workers were exposed to asbestos merely by washing their husband’s dusty work clothes.

Asbestos diseases have decades-long latency periods (the time between exposure and the diagnosis of an asbestos-related illness).  Many asbestos disease patients do not develop symptoms for 25-30 years after they were exposed.

Weitz & Luxenberg is a leading plaintiffs' law firm that has represented people affected by mesothelioma for over 20 years. Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma caused by asbestos exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
