Asbestos Abatement Conducted on the Future Home of Royals William and Kate

Prince William and his new wife Kate have decided where in Kensington Palace they are going to live, but they have one problem, their apartment contains cancer causing asbestos and must be removed before they can move in. William and Kate may not be able to move into their new home until 2013.

The asbestos abatement and renovations of their new home will likely bring the problem into the spotlight and bring attention to the dangers of asbestos. Mesothelioma lawyers have spent many years trying to make the public aware of the hazards asbestos creates.

In the United States and the United Kingdom, asbestos was commonly used material for construction until the late 80s. Asbestos is a known carcinogen and people exposed to the material are at risk of developing mesothelioma, a lung cancer which proves to be fatal within 8 to 12 months after diagnosis.

Because asbestos is so detrimental to human health, mesothelioma attorneys have represented many people who have contracted the disease. Asbestos lawsuits are one of the longest running types of civil lawsuits in our courts.

Asbestos fibers can become airborne when disturbed and can lead to a number of respiratory ailments when inhaled. Most people these days are aware of the dangers of asbestos, but most mesothelioma patients were no made aware of the potential dangers the material poses.  Mesothelioma lawyers have helped these victims recoup the medical costs, and damages for the suffering they endured at the hands of negligent asbestos manufacturers.
