The risk of mesothelioma persists as exports of asbestos continue

It has been reported that unlike many other countries, Canada still continues its exports of asbestos to countries such as India, Pakistan and Vietnam. Consequently, people in these countries are at risk of developing the deadly asbestos disease mesothelioma.

Mesothelioma has a long latency period, ranging from 20 to 50 years after asbestos exposure. The long latency period means that by the time a person is diagnosed with the disease, the disease has already reached its final stages of development and the possibility of cure is virtually nonexistent.

For over two decades, Weitz & Luxenberg P.C. has handled some of the most legally complicated and groundbreaking asbestos litigation in the country, winning many millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements along the way.

Men and women diagnosed with mesothelioma or lung cancer caused by asbestos exposure or secondary exposure may be entitled to compensation from the companies responsible for their disease.
