Where Is Asbestos Found?
Asbestos is the most common cause of mesothelioma. Before it was discovered to cause lung cancer, asbestos was used as a common building material in homes and businesses nationwide. A natural flame-retardant, it was initially intended to help save lives in the event of a fire. Unfortunately, it ended up having quite the opposite effect.
Asbestos can be found in the walls and ceilings of many old buildings. It has also been used as insulation for water pipes that carry hot water. If you or a loved one developed lung cancer after living or working near asbestos for a long period of time, a lawyer can help you find out if the two are linked.
Why Should I File a Lawsuit?
Filing a lawsuit can help you recover compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost enjoyment of life and, depending on your circumstances, wrongful death. If the property owner has acted with extreme negligence and disregard, you may be able to recover punitive damages in addition to compensation for injuries.
