Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that affects the lungs and abdomen.  Mesothelioma is caused by inhaling or swallowing asbestos fibers, a hazardous mineral. Symptoms of mesothelioma are slow to appear; they sometimes do not show up until 50 years after the initial asbestos exposure. There is no cure for this deadly type of cancer. The majority of Tennessee mesothelioma cases are a result of asbestos exposure at the workplace. Occupations that are at high risk for asbestos exposure include miners, auto mechanics, plumbers, construction workers and Navy ship yard workers. The Environmental Protection Agency banned most asbestos products in 1989 due to its health risks; there are still old buildings that have asbestos present. Construction and maintenance workers that continue to work on these old buildings are at risk for developing mesothelioma.

The companies that manufactured, sold and installed asbestos products had knowledge dating back to the 1930s that asbestos exposure was hazardous, but they never warned the public about the health risks. Thousands of individuals have developed this preventable disease. People that have been diagnosed with mesothelioma and their loved ones may have legal recourse.

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be eligible to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages and other damages.
