What Is Mesothelioma?
Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that affects the protective lining that surrounds the internal organs in the body. It is a rare form of cancer, and in an estimated 70% to 80% of all recorded cases, exposure to asbestos is found to be the cause. While the link between asbestos and mesothelioma has been established for decades, many asbestos manufacturers still vigorously challenge personal injury claims involving mesothelioma. After asbestos was found to be harmful to human beings, it began to be removed in earnest in the 1980s.
Until that time, it had been found in many industrial, household, and automotive items, including:
- Insulation
- Floor tiles
- Joint compound
- Compressors
- Turbines
- Boilers
- Sheetrock
- Gaskets
- Auto brakes

The Effects of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma is an often-fatal disease which forms in the protective linings of various parts of the body, most often in the lungs. The earlier the disease is diagnosed, the better the prognosis although currently no cure for this cancer is known. Exposure to asbestos is also transferrable to those who handle the clothes of workmen in asbestos-related jobs. Asbestos has been indisputably linked to mesothelioma, and it also can cause other types of cancer, such as in the bladder, kidney, and colon.
Overall, surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and other treatment therapies produce disappointing results. If you have been diagnosed with any type of mesothelioma, a West Virginia work injury lawyer may be able to help you hold the responsible party or parties accountable for your damages. Now is the time to get capable legal help from a firm that has consistently demonstrated its competence at the negotiation table and in court.
