The Shepard Law Firm is preparing to release a booklet intended to help mesothelioma patients and their families understand the illness, its causes, and treatment options, as well as to answer other common questions about the disease. Titled Mesothelioma: A Family Guide, the guide provides both medical and legal information, including information about related illnesses, the role of asbestos exposure in the development of mesothelioma, and the legal rights of mesothelioma patients and their family members.
The booklet answers a wide range of questions; queries related to the progression of the mesothelioma, standard and alternative treatment options, and how to seek support are answered in the booklet’s first section. The financial and emotional considerations of coping with mesothelioma are also considered, covering the full scope of the disease’s effect on individuals and families.
The second portion of Mesothelioma: A Family Guide details the various types of situations that may place an individual at risk for
asbestos exposure, the only known cause of mesothelioma. Most people who develop asbestos-related illnesses such as mesothelioma have contracted it due to work-related exposure. Former construction workers, Armed Forces members, and shipyard workers may be at risk, as asbestos was used widely in those fields. Mesothelioma: A Family Guide addresses the history of these professions with regard to the disease, and what this means for patients.
In its third and final section, the booklet addresses the legal rights of mesothelioma patients and details the options available to them and their families. Questions about what to do after being diagnosed,
mesothelioma lawsuits, and the costs associated with litigation are answered in detail, preparing families for the financial and legal realities of battling mesothelioma.
