FAQ - Mesothelioma Lung Cancer Frequently Asked Questions

What is mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a rare and deadly cancer of the lining of the lungs and other organs. It is most commonly caused by inhalation of microscopic asbestos dust and fibers. These fibers are so tiny they become lodged in lung tissue and can eventually develop into cancer. It can take decades, sometimes as long as 30 or 40 years, for cancer to develop after exposure to asbestos.

What is asbestosis?

Asbestosis is a chronic inflammatory and fibrotic disease affecting lung tissue due to inhalation of asbestos fibers.

Are you at risk of mesothelioma, asbestosis, or lung cancer?

If you have ever been exposed to asbestos fibers, you are at risk. You may not even know you are at risk. You may have been exposed to asbestos in the following ways:

• Working in automotive repair and being around products which produce asbestos dust like brake linings.
• Working in shipyards or in the Navy. Navy veterans are at increased risk for asbestos-related illnesses.
• Working in construction or remodeling, janitorial, plumbing or boiler repair.
• Living in an older home where asbestos may have been disturbed and become airborne. Asbestos is not harmful unless particles become airborne when something containing asbestos is damaged or disturbed. Asbestos was used in many home products before 1977 when asbestos was banned for home use. Asbestos containing products include roof shingles, siding, ceiling tile, floor tile, adhesives, joint compound, plaster, and insulation such as around hot water pipes, furnaces, and around fireplaces.

What should I do if I am at risk of asbestosis or mesothelioma?

If you believe you are at risk of diseases caused by exposure to asbestos you should see your medical provider.

Am I eligible for cash compensation?

Whether you are entitled to participate in the settlement fund is to be determined by the attorneys handling the case. Contact the responsible law firm for more details.
