Asbestos and Mesothelioma

You may have heard about the dangers of asbestos, but did you know that asbestos exposure can cause many chronic medical conditions, including cancer? Mesothelioma is a fatal cancer caused by asbestos exposure, a known carcinogen.
Mesothelioma affects those who’ve worked with or around asbestos, including: 

Construction Workers and those in Construction Trades

Carpenters, electricians, roofers, plumbers, insulators, drywall installers, painters, and pipefitters are frequently exposed to asbestos when working on older buildings. Activities like renovation or demolition can disturb asbestos-containing materials, releasing harmful fibers into the air and raising the risk of mesothelioma and lung cancer.

Industrial Workers

Factory, plant, and refinery workers, steel mill workers, insulators, mechanics, machine operators, foremen, chemical workers, and insulators were regularly exposed to asbestos in high-heat environments. Asbestos was used in machinery, boilers, and pipes, leading to long-term health risks like mesothelioma, asbestosis, and lung cancer.

Military Service Members and Veterans

Military service members and veterans' exposure risk varies by the branch of military they served in; however, all branches, including the Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Army, have been at risk. Veterans were frequently exposed to asbestos in ships, vehicles, and military buildings. Asbestos exposure during service can lead to serious health problems, and veterans may be eligible for VA benefits and compensation.

Shipyard and Maritime Workers

Marine mechanics, who play a crucial role in the construction, maintenance, and repair of ships for both the Navy and civilian commercial purposes, face significant risks from asbestos exposure. These skilled workers often operate in engine rooms, near pipes, and around boilers, where asbestos materials were commonly used for insulation and fireproofing. Unfortunately, this exposure—particularly prevalent in shipyards—has resulted in numerous cases of mesothelioma, lung cancer, and other serious asbestos-related diseases among shipbuilders and maintenance personnel.

Auto Workers and Mechanics

Auto mechanics were exposed to asbestos through brake pads, clutches, and gaskets. Repair and maintenance work often released asbestos fibers into the air, putting workers at risk for lung cancer and mesothelioma.

Family Members

Family members of asbestos-exposed workers faced secondary exposure when fibers were brought home by their loved ones on clothes and tools. Even minimal contact with asbestos has caused severe health conditions, including mesothelioma and lung cancer.

If you or someone you love may have been exposed to asbestos and have developed mesothelioma, you may be entitled to compensation. Call Madeksho Law for a review of your situation, and to see if you qualify.

Asbestos and Lung Cancer

Asbestos exposure can also increase your risk for lung cancer. While mesothelioma is a cancer of the lining of the lungs, lung cancer is cancer of the lung tissue itself. The diseases are similar in that they take decades to develop but then spread quickly. However, asbestos exposure causes six times more lung cancer cases than mesothelioma. Lung cancer is the deadliest of all asbestos-related diseases. 

Nearly 3,000 people die from asbestos-related lung cancer yearly, twice the number killed by mesothelioma. 

If you or a family member have asbestos-related lung cancer, the experienced team at the Madeksho Law can help you recover the compensation you deserve, even if your family member has since died. Call Madeksho Law to see if you qualify.

Talcum Powder and Cancer

We tend to associate talcum powder with babies – fresh, clean, and sweet-smelling. For years people have used talcum powder to absorb moisture for babies and adults, applying baby powder and body powder after showers, baths, fresh diapers, or exercising. But recently, we've learned the use of any talc based powder, including baby powder, body powder used by men in athletics and by women to stay fresh and for fragrance, and talc based cosmetics can cause mesothelioma and other cancers.

If you believe that talcum powder harmed you or a loved one, give the Madeksho Law Firm a call at 1-888-910-6376 or contact us through our online form. We never charge a fee unless we obtain compensation on your behalf.

Toxic Exposures and Cancer

While we’re often exposed to harmful chemicals in the air, water, and the products we use daily, the amount of exposure won’t harm us in many cases. But higher levels or prolonged exposure to toxic chemicals can lead to health problems, injuries, and cancer.

Exposure to toxic chemicals is linked to many chronic health conditions, including: 

  • Aplastic anemia
  • Asbestosis
  • Asthma
  • Cancer
  • Bronchiolitis
  • Leukemia
  • Hodgkin’s disease
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Mesothelioma
  • Silicosis
  • Reactive Airways Dysfunction Syndrome (RADS)
