The law [...]Read More...
Fossil Fuel Industry Covered Up Its Own Scientific Warnings… Just Like the Asbestos Industry. Newly found papers show that the fossil fuel industry was heavily into climate science way back in 1954. Big oil and car makers gave money to help research how the earth’s climate was changing. One person who got this money was [...]Read More...
When it comes to asbestos-related cancers, inhalation alone or a single-time exposure is known to increase the risk of contracting the disease. However, it isn’t the only factor that comes into play. Genetics is a major factor as well. While it’s widely recognized that exposure to asbestos dust increases cancer risks, recent studies by the [...]Read More...
Tragically, exposure to asbestos had led to future cancer diagnoses in countless patients across generations. Not only does asbestos exposure often lead to cancer – sometimes decades later – but the cancers that it produces tend to be particularly harmful and difficult to treat. Given that reality, any possible treatment option that can address asbestos-related [...]Read More...
Kaposiform Hemangioendothelioma (KHE) is a rare vascular tumor that primarily affects infants and young children. KHE involves abnormal growth of blood vessels in various parts of the body.

Those who worked in an industrial setting that exposed them to asbestos in past decades were very likely to experience serious health consequences as a result later on, and those consequences continue to be a problem today.

Asbestos-related cancers like mesothelioma can take 20-50 years to appear. People exposed to asbestos by jobs or family members’ work clothing in the 1970s might only be aware of their cancer now. It only takes a single breath to get mesothelioma, a very rare and extremely aggressive kind of heart-lung cancer. However, it may take [...]Read More...
According to most doctors, asbestos exposure causes over 80 percent of the mesothelioma cases in America. However, according to a few, the percentage is much lower. A lower percentage could create causation problems in a negligence case. That’s a lot of Legalese, which we’ll translate below. Regardless of the cause, lung cancer is very painful [...]Read More...
A senate panel backed a measure that would require asbestos exposure victims to turn over most key details about their cases within thirty days. Veterans specifically say the bill narrows their rights. If someone dies of mesothelioma, a cancer in the lining of the lungs almost always caused by asbestos exposure, their spouse likely wouldn’t [...]Read More...
