LegalView Informs Readers of Fake Documents for Asbestos Removal Workers Increasing Risks of Mesothelioma Among Americans
LegalView, the number one resource for everything and anything available on the Web, recently alerted mesothelioma blog readers to a disturbing report from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which has found thousands of asbestos removal workers to have falsified documents in order to gain employment and thus cause a potential increased risk of asbestos exposure among American citizens. The documentation scandal, uncovered by Environmental Protection Division (EPD) worker Don McCarty, found that individuals were allegedly using bogus certifications, false social security numbers and certification from individuals no longer alive in order to have employment.
It is illegal to work in asbestos removal without authentic certification, as asbestos must be handled carefully in order to avoid exposure of individuals. Because asbestos exposure can cause the development of a deadly form of lung cancer known as mesothelioma, it is important for individuals who feel they have been wrongfully exposed to asbestos fibers to contact a mesothelioma law firm. Contacting such a law firm can offer an array of mesothelioma lawyers and mesothelioma attorneys to choose from in developing a potential mesothelioma lawsuit in which a victim may be able to derive monetary compensation as a potential award for their deadly condition and expensive medical bills.
According to news reports, many buildings across the United States still contain asbestos, and individuals who have obtained illegal or fake documentation for asbestos removal are putting thousands if not millions of Americans at risk for developing mesothelioma cancer with improper asbestos removal. Asbestos was heavily used during the beginning and middle of the 20th century as a form of inexpensive and fire-retardant insulation in millions of homes, apartment buildings, hospitals, schools, universities and offices. The use of asbestos was later halted after it was linked to the development of mesothelioma cancer. The cancer, unfortunately, remains dormant for years within a victim who is unaware of the cancerous condition forming inside of their body until it is too late. There is currently no cure for mesothelioma cancer.

According to the Brain Injury Association of America (BIAA) nearly 1.4 Americans sustain a brain injury each year and approximately 50,000 of these individuals die while 235,000 are hospitalized and 1.1 million are treated and released. There are a range of severe consequences resulting from being a victim of TBI including social/mental impairment, loss of sensory abilities, lack of motor skills, etc. It is important that individuals who have been injured in a TBI incident contact an experienced TBI attorney who can provide a free legal consultation as to the development of a potential TBI lawsuit.
Truck accidents are the most costly and, unfortunately, linked to the most fatalities among all vehicular accidents. Because a truck accident can affect more than just a victim, it is important that legal counsel be sought to protect a truck accident victim from costly medical bills associated with this type of accident.
LegalView also offers a wide-range of pharmaceutical topics such as the type 2 diabetes drug, Avandia, which has been linked to the development of heart disease/heart failure and bone fractures/breaks as well as early-onset osteoporosis. Patients who have taken Avandia for their type 2 diabetes should consider speaking with their medical professional about the potential Avandia side effects and can learn more about this and other controversial pharmaceuticals at www.LegalView.com/.
