Tragically, pleural effusion is often a sign of mesothelioma. Our lawyers can help you seek compensation for your health concerns.

Seek justice with our firm if you were harmed by asbestos.

Many construction workers, boilertenders, Navy veterans and other laborers and their family members are now experiencing asbestos-related health concerns such as pleural effusion, which is often a sign of mesothelioma.

A pleural effusion is an accumulation of fluid between the lining of the lung and the chest cavity.

It is one of most common symptoms of mesothelioma and leads to shortness of breath, or dyspnea.

This shortness of breath increases as the volume of this fluid accumulates, as does the pain that comes with pleural effusion.

Asbestos causes conditions such as pleural effusion when its fibers make their way into the tiniest passageways of the lungs and then into the pleura.

Once there, they can cause cancerous cell development. As the cells begin to divide abnormally, the pleural lining thickens and excess fluid may accumulate.

Pleural thickening gradually contracts the breathing space, causing shortness of breath—often the first symptom for pleural mesothelioma.

This excess fluid is often seen on X-rays, and is referred to as a pleural effusion.

Our Asbestos Litigation Unit in New York fights for the rights of those with mesothelioma and asbestos-related lung cancer nationwide.

While we hope this is never the case, your pleural effusion may ultimately lead to a mesothelioma diagnosis. If it does, please know that our firm can help you seek legal remedies to fight back against those responsible for your health concerns.

Money from a lawsuit can help you seek quality healthcare and provide for family members.
