Fighting Mesothelioma

Did you know that our country is one of the few developing countries with no complete, formal ban on asbestos? To me that is crazy but then again how do you completely get rid of something that was used everywhere? We had just got a letter from our school about some work they are doing and how there is asbestos but it should not be exposed to harm the kids or staff.

The problem with asbestos is it is highly carcinogenic, which means it has a high potential to lead to cancer. The bigger problem though is that asbestos-related illnesses like mesothelioma can take years to develop. In case you are not familiar with, mesothelioma is a very aggressive cancer of the lungs.

To me asbestos is something you find in old houses and its something you breathe in. While it is not used as much today and it is more regulated, there are many people who have been harmed from asbestos-related illnesses. Most of the asbestos used in the U.S. has since been removed, but thousands of people were still exposed to this deadly material for years due to the negligence of large corporations.

Ward Black Law is a law firm out of North Carolina that has helped more than a thousand mesothelioma patients, both within North Carolina and beyond. Thousands of Americans have been exposed to asbestos and developed mesothelioma through no fault of their own. Now those people have medical bills and loss of wages that they have to deal with. With a lawyer versed in mesothelioma, a victim can get help with their bills and suffering. If you or a loved one was exposed than it is worth reaching out to a lawyer to see if you have a case. Medical bills can really add up and depending on how sick the victim is, they may not be able to work.
