Asbestos exposure is the only known cause of mesothelioma cancer. This lethal dust was used extensively in the construction, manufacturing, energy, aerospace, automotive and shipbuilding industries in the 20th century. Workers involved in producing asbestos products, as well as those who used them or worked near usage sites have suffered adverse health consequences like lung diseases and mesothelioma in the decades since.

‍

If you developed mesothelioma after working around asbestos-containing materials, you likely have a strong case for financial recovery. Companies that exposed employees and the public to asbestos without proper warnings and safety protocols can be held liable for damages. As dedicated mesothelioma lawyers, we fight to hold these negligent corporations fully accountable.

‍

The early symptoms of mesothelioma often mimic other less serious respiratory illnesses, making accurate diagnosis difficult. Patients typically experience shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue and weight loss. As the cancer advances, fluid may accumulate around the lungs or abdominal organs leading to additional issues. The average patient experiences symptoms for 3-6 months before an official mesothelioma diagnosis.

‍

A claims timeline begins only when a qualified doctor officially diagnosed the disease through imaging scans and a biopsy. We recommend patients work with experienced mesothelioma cancer centers and specialists to confirm their diagnosis and develop a treatment plan as soon as possible. Don't wait to contact our attorneys - the sooner we get involved after a diagnosis, the better positioned we will be to build your case.

Mesothelioma most often develops in the lining of the lungs (pleural mesothelioma), but can also occur in the abdominal cavity (peritoneal mesothelioma) or around the heart or testicles. Approximately 75% of all mesothelioma cases are pleural.

‍

Pleural Mesothelioma

This most common form arises in the pleura, or the two-layered membrane surrounding the lungs that allows them to smoothly expand and contract during breathing. Pleural mesothelioma comes with a median survival time of 12-18 months following diagnosis. Common pleural mesothelioma symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, chronic cough, fever and weight loss.

‍

Peritoneal Mesothelioma

‍

Peritoneal mesothelioma begins in the peritoneum, or abdominal lining that protects organs like the liver, stomach and intestines. It accounts for about 20% of cases and has a better prognosis than other types, with patients living an average of 2-3 years post-diagnosis. Symptoms include abdominal swelling and pain, nausea, bowel obstruction, anemia and fever.

‍

Other Types

Rarer forms occur in the pericardium around the heart or tunica vaginalis testis in men’s reproductive organs. Heart and testicular mesothelioma comprise only a few hundred cases per year so most mesothelioma claims stem from asbestos exposure leading to pleural or peritoneal development.

‍

Treatment for any type of mesothelioma remains limited, which is why claims for financial compensation are so important. Early diagnosis provides the best hope of extending life expectancy. Combinations of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy help manage symptoms and slow cancer growth. Patients may also consider experimental clinical trials testing new drugs and therapies.

‍

Among standard treatments, experts view surgery as most effective when possible. For pleural mesothelioma, an operation called extrapleural pneumonectomy can remove the affected lung lining. Peritoneal patients may undergo peritonectomy or omentectomy to cut out abdominal tumors. Radiation and chemotherapy like pemetrexed or cisplatin kill remaining cancer cells post-surgery.

‍

Enrolling in a mesothelioma clinical trial provides access to promising new therapies not yet FDA-approved. Revolutionary immune therapies are demonstrating extended survival times for some patients. If interested in a trial, work with our mesothelioma lawyers so any compensation recovered can help pay related medical costs. Contact us today before starting any treatment to understand all your legal options.

‍

A mesothelioma prognosis depends on many factors including cell type, tumor stage, age, gender and access to quality treatment. Patients diagnosed in stage 1 or 2 have a better prognosis than those in stage 3 or 4 when cancer has spread. Most patients live 12-21 months after diagnosis, but each case is unique.

‍

Younger, healthier patients who can undergo surgery and multi-modal therapy tend to outlive their prognoses. Our firm has represented mesothelioma victims who survived 5-10 years post-diagnosis. Unfortunately long-term survival over 5 years only occurs in about 9% of cases.

‍

When reviewing life expectancy statistics, always consider the source. Numbers from reputable cancer centers and peer-reviewed medical journals carry more weight. Beware companies downplaying the lethality while promoting questionable, unproven treatments. Contact our caring mesothelioma law firm to understand what clinical data means for your own prognosis.

‍

‍

After meeting with a qualified mesothelioma attorney, the first step is conducting a thorough investigation into how and when asbestos exposure occurred. Identifying potentially liable companies is crucial for building a strong legal case. Experienced lawyers use diverse evidence sources:

‍

• Employment Records - Critical for confirming asbestos contact at workplaces. We retrieve records from unions, military branches, government agencies and former employers.
• Testimony from Coworkers & Family - Statements from coworkers who recall unsafe conditions or defendants’ knowledge of asbestos hazards can prove negligence. Family members may provide details about secondary exposure from contaminated work clothing.
• Work Site List Evidence - If you don’t remember exact exposure sites, we consult ever-expanding proprietary databases. Over decades we have compiled detailed lists of ships, facilities and architectural sites containing asbestos.
• Product Documentation - We track down evidence related to insulation, fireproofing, machinery and other goods made with asbestos. Documentation proves which manufacturers knew asbestos was dangerous yet still put profits first.

‍

After gathering evidence, your mesothelioma lawyer will file an official liability lawsuit in court against companies that wrongfully exposed you to asbestos. Defendants often try denying responsibility or proposing unfair out-of-court settlements. Our mesothelioma lawyers in Michigan will take uncooperative companies to trial when necessary to fight for you.

Money can never make up for the suffering asbestos exposure causes. But financial recovery secures access to the best cancer treatments while removing worries over medical costs and household bills. With an experienced mesothelioma law firm, compensation often reaches millions of dollars through:

‍

• Case Settlements: The majority of claims resolve through negotiated settlements before trial. Defendants want to avoid negative publicity and the risk of paying more if a jury finds against them. Settlement amounts depend on the evidence gathered and the worth of companies involved.
• Jury Verdicts: If companies deny liability or refuse reasonable settlement offers, we take them to court. Sympathetic juries often award large verdicts upon hearing testimony proving negligence. Jury awards for mesothelioma regularly reach the million-dollar level or higher.
• Asbestos Trusts: Bankruptcy trusts established by former asbestos defendants pay set amounts to victims meeting exposure criteria. Trust claims help recover additional money with fewer legal hurdles.

‍

The more evidence supporting asbestos contact, the higher the potential payout. Our mesothelioma attorneys fight tirelessly so victims receive maximum compensation as quickly as possible. Let our exceptional track record work for you.
