Learn About Mesothelioma Lawsuit Litigation

Scientists and health care professionals have known for years that exposure to asbestos can be dangerous or even fatal. Nonetheless, employers have continued allowing individuals to be exposed to chemicals by asbestos companies. Auto mechanics, construction workers, shipyard workers and electricians are at the highest risk for developing asbestosis because they directly handle asbestos materials while performing their jobs.

Although symptoms of asbestosis can take over 30 years to develop, people who exposed to asbestos for longer time periods and in areas with less ventilation often develop asbestosis or mesothelioma sooner.

Tucker and Associates, P.C. in Houston. We represent mesothelioma victims through out the United States.

One of the main challenges in any lawsuit based on asbestos exposure is to identify and find the right defendants decades after the victim’s ingestion of the asbestos fibers. Most persons who develop malignant mesothelioma were exposed to asbestos as long as forty years prior to diagnosis. Since asbestos is the only known cause of mesothelioma, there is usually little difficulty in establishing that the victim’s illness or death was caused by the substance. However, finding a past owner of property or the successor to a defunct corporation can present real problems for the plaintiff’s attorney.
