Do you think you're at risk for asbestos exposure? Look at the details below and find out more about this deadly substance. The following is a list of people at elevated chance of developing an asbestos-related disease:

Those with breathing problems
People with protracted exposure to asbestos
Those who think they have had protracted exposure to asbestos
Immediate family members of those who have worked in asbestos-related trades, even if the person who worked with asbestos has no evident exposure signs or troubles with their respiratory system

The following are the ailments which have been linked to asbestos exposure: Mesothelioma (a cancer of the thin membranes lining the thoracic and abdominal cavities and surrounding internal organs), asbestosis (a serious, chronic, non cancerous fibrous hardening and scarring of the lungs), lung cancer, and pleural plaque and thickening (scarring of the lining of the lung). Some symptoms of asbestos-related diseases are coughing, coughing blood, shortness of breath, chest pain and weight loss. Unfortunately, the tangible symptoms of contact with asbestos can appear up to 25 years after initial exposure. Annual or even semi-annual asbestos detection tests are recommended.

It is important to seek medical council if you believe that you have been exposed to asbestos. Initial testing is an x-ray (side and front view of your chest.) Supplementary tests may include a pulmonary function test, blood work, a CT scan and/or biopsy.

If you or someone you love has developed lung cancer after being exposed to asbestos, we can help. Complete the form on this page for a free case review from our attorneys.
