Mesothelioma Lawsuit Seattle

The Port of Seattle was established in 1916, placing Seattle squarely on the map. The industries that swept into the area made frequent use of asbestos. Prior to the opening of the port, the American asbestos industry was already booming. From as early as 1930, industry leaders knew the danger of the material. They chose to ignore the risk because acknowledging it might threaten their profits. That ignorance has cost a countless number their health and well-being. If you or a loved one has been recently diagnosed with mesothelioma or other asbestos-related ailment, we may be able to help you recover some of your security.

Asbestos is an industrial insulator used primarily in heat-resistant materials. The paper, lumber, chemical, aerospace, and shipbuilding industries frequently rely on it to suppress heat from large heating elements. It’s also used to insulate US Navy vessels. Asbestos is made of tiny fibers. Handling asbestos can set those fibers floating through the air. When inhaled, the fibers burrow into the tissue of the lungs, causing a number of illnesses. One asbestos illness, mesothelioma, occurs when the damage to the lungs is so severe that mutated cells begin attacking the outer lining of the lungs themselves. This frequently spreads to other organs. Compared to most other cancers, wherein the treatment is often more painful than the infection itself, mesothelioma is known to be as painful as it is difficult to treat.

Identifying the Area of Exposure

Because so many job sites use asbestos, it can often be difficult to pinpoint where exposure took place. That said, it is not impossible. The length of time between exposure and the development of symptoms can also cause difficulty. Rest assured that we can help you retrace your actions, even if the details are hazy at first. If you’re suffering from mesothelioma, there are much more important worries to dwell on. Allow us to help you – we seek justice for the victims of inattentive industries. This means that we must be certain we’re holding the right people accountable. It may take some time to sort through the details, but it can be done.

Seattle Mesothelioma Lawsuits: Potential Settlements

It isn’t uncommon for big businesses to have capital set aside for asbestos settlements. In some cases, this is a condition of bankruptcy filing. Depending on the circumstances, we will continue to fight for more than a simple reimbursement of medical expenses. That’s an excellent starting place, but when an employer violates the trust placed in him by an employee, much more than health can be damaged. The welfare of your family may well depend on a reward more significant than mere medical damages.

If you have any questions or concerns, or if you or a loved one has recently been diagnosed with mesothelioma, please don’t hesitate to contact us.  Employers and asbestos product manufacturers could have prevented many of these illnesses. For too many years, industries traded profits for employee safety. It’s time to send the message that such practices are completely unacceptable.
