Attorneys Helping Victims of Asbestos Exposure in New York

Mesothelioma is a rare disease caused as a result of malignant cancerous cells lining the body cavity, such as the chest, abdomen or the area surrounding the heart. Approximately 70-80% of all mesothelioma cases are associated with exposure to asbestos.

Exposure to asbestos, even in small amounts, is known to result in mesothelioma. Family members of workers exposed to asbestos have also contracted this disease through exposure to the worker’s clothing. In addition, smoking may increase the risk of contracting mesothelioma.

Early signs of mesothelioma are often mistaken for less serious illness and are commonly overlooked. In the early stages of the disease, there may no apparent signs of sickness. Most common symptoms include breathing problems, pain in the lungs, lasting cough, fatigue, and weight loss. These symptoms are not easily connected to mesothelioma, unless the patient is examined by his/her health care provider and has provided a history of possible asbestos exposure.
