What is Mesothelioma?

Mesothelioma is a rare and aggressive form of cancer that is caused by exposure to asbestos. The disease affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen, and heart, and it is almost always fatal. Mesothelioma has a long latency period, which means that it can take 20 to 50 years for symptoms to develop after exposure to asbestos.

There is no cure for mesothelioma, but early detection and treatment can help improve a patient’s prognosis. If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. You should also contact an experienced Atlanta mesothelioma lawyer to discuss your legal rights.

What is Asbestos?

Asbestos is a naturally occurring mineral that was used in thousands of products throughout the 20th century. The mineral is highly resistant to heat, fire, and chemicals, and it is also an excellent insulator. As a result, asbestos was used in a wide range of products, including insulation, fireproofing materials, cement, and textiles.

Asbestos is made up of tiny fibers that can be easily inhaled or swallowed. Once inside the body, these fibers can become lodged in the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart. Over time, these fibers can cause inflammation and scarring, which can lead to the development of mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases.

Asbestos was widely used in the construction, shipbuilding, and automotive industries, as well as in the military. As a result, many workers in these industries were exposed to asbestos on a regular basis. In addition, many workers brought asbestos fibers home on their clothing, which put their family members at risk of developing mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases.

Asbestos was also used in many consumer products, including talcum powder, baby powder, and cosmetics. As a result, many people who used these products were exposed to asbestos and are now at risk of developing mesothelioma or other asbestos-related diseases.

What are the Symptoms of Mesothelioma?

The symptoms of mesothelioma can vary depending on the type of mesothelioma and the stage of the disease. In the early stages of the disease, there may be no symptoms. As the disease progresses, symptoms may include:

  • Chest pain
  • Shortness of breath
  • Unexplained weight loss
  • Fatigue
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Swelling of the face and arms
  • Hoarseness
  • Coughing up blood
  • Abdominal pain and swelling
  • Bowel obstruction
  • Anemia

f you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. You should also contact an experienced Atlanta mesothelioma lawyer to discuss your legal rights.

How is Mesothelioma Diagnosed?

Mesothelioma is often difficult to diagnose because the symptoms of the disease are similar to those of other, less serious conditions. In addition, the disease has a long latency period, which means that it can take 20 to 50 years for symptoms to develop after exposure to asbestos.

If your doctor suspects that you have mesothelioma, he or she will likely order a number of tests to confirm the diagnosis. These tests may include:

  • Imaging tests: Imaging tests, such as X-rays, CT scans, and PET scans, can help your doctor see if there are any abnormalities in your lungs or other organs.
  • Biopsy: A biopsy is a procedure in which a small piece of tissue is removed from your body and examined under a microscope. This can help your doctor determine if you have mesothelioma and, if so, what type of mesothelioma you have.

If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you should contact an experienced Atlanta mesothelioma lawyer to discuss your legal rights.

How is Mesothelioma Treated?

There is no cure for mesothelioma, but there are a number of treatment options that can help improve a patient’s prognosis. The treatment options that are available to you will depend on the stage of your disease, the location of the tumor, and your overall health.

Treatment options for mesothelioma may include:

  • Surgery: Surgery may be an option if the tumor is localized and has not spread to other parts of the body. The goal of surgery is to remove as much of the tumor as possible. In some cases, the entire lung or other organ may need to be removed.
  • Radiation therapy: Radiation therapy uses high-energy X-rays to kill cancer cells. It may be used before surgery to shrink the tumor or after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells.
  • Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells. It may be used before surgery to shrink the tumor or after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells. Chemotherapy may also be used to relieve symptoms and improve a patient’s quality of life.
  • Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy uses drugs to help a patient’s immune system fight cancer. It may be used alone or in combination with other treatments.
  • Targeted therapy: Targeted therapy uses drugs to target specific genes or proteins that are involved in the growth of cancer cells. It may be used alone or in combination with other treatments.

If you have been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. You should also contact an experienced Atlanta mesothelioma lawyer to discuss your legal rights.

Who is Liable for Asbestos Exposure?

In Georgia, as in many other states, liability for asbestos exposure and mesothelioma can extend to various parties depending on the circumstances of the exposure. Mesothelioma is a type of cancer that is primarily linked to asbestos exposure, and individuals who develop this disease often seek legal recourse to hold responsible parties accountable.

Here are some of the parties that can potentially be held liable for asbestos exposure and mesothelioma in Georgia:

  • Manufacturers and Suppliers: Companies that manufactured or supplied asbestos-containing products can be held liable if their products were a source of exposure. This includes manufacturers of construction materials, insulation, automotive parts, and various industrial products that contained asbestos.
  • Employers: Employers who exposed their employees to asbestos without providing adequate safety measures, protective gear, or training may be held liable. This can include both private companies and government entities.
  • Property Owners and Landlords: Property owners or landlords who fail to properly address asbestos-containing materials in their buildings, leading to tenant exposure, can be held accountable.
  • Contractors and Construction Companies: Companies involved in construction or renovation projects that disturb asbestos-containing materials and fail to take proper precautions may be liable for exposing workers or residents to asbestos.
  • Manufacturers of Respiratory Protection Equipment: If the equipment used to protect workers from asbestos exposure is defective or inadequate, the manufacturer of such equipment may be liable.
  • Asbestos Trust Funds: Many companies that manufactured asbestos-containing products have filed for bankruptcy and established asbestos trust funds to compensate victims. Claimants can file lawsuits against these trust funds to seek compensation for their injuries.
  • Third Parties: In some cases, individuals who were not directly involved in the asbestos exposure but were indirectly affected by it (e.g., family members of asbestos workers who were exposed to asbestos fibers carried home on clothing) may also seek compensation from liable parties.

A Long History of Success in Mesothelioma Cases

Countless lawyers who advertise themselves as mesothelioma attorneys have never actually handled an asbestos case before. In fact, they refer them out to real mesothelioma lawyers for a fee.

That is not how we operate.

We are true, experienced mesothelioma attorneys who personally work on each case from beginning to end. We are always happy to meet our clients, whether at our New York, New Jersey, California, Georgia, Washington, or Maryland offices, at a client’s home or hospital, or anywhere in the country.

Our legal team has succeeded by negotiating tirelessly with manufacturers of asbestos products and their insurance companies, no matter how influential or uncooperative they are. We are even often able to recover compensation from companies that have long been bankrupt.

Most defense lawyers are familiar with our solid reputation and credentials and know in advance that we will not settle for less than the best possible offer.

Providing Your Case with the Individual Attention It Deserves

Unfortunately, many law firms today use a generalized approach to handling cases of the same type, even those as complex as mesothelioma cases.

With a goal of cutting back on the time spent on each case, they use broad-brush practices and techniques to process cases as fast as they can, often risking the possibility of missing important details in a case and, thus, undermining the goal of negotiating the best possible compensation for their clients.

Contrary to such mentality, we treat every case as if it was our only one. We investigate each case with a team of lawyers, paralegals, and leading experts in the field, all while being in constant communication with the clients, to ensure that we have done everything we could to reach the full potential of each individual case.

In many courts, mesothelioma cases are treated urgently and given high priority. This is particularly true if the claimant is alive. In some jurisdictions, the entire case can be resolved within four to five months; in others, it can take longer.

Here, at Levy Konigsberg, our mesothelioma cancer attorneys do everything possible to avoid delays and move our clients’ cases as quickly as we can. We accomplish this in large part due to the coordinated work of our team members and the fact that every mesothelioma case goes through a strict control and supervision, including regular follow-ups and reviews by the lead lawyers.

Our mesothelioma attorneys update clients on a regular basis, so that they always know of every important development on their case and that it is being taken care of. Our lawyers and support staff take every phone call with a high level of priority and try to answer them on the spot.

If unavailable at that very moment, we call clients back as promptly as possible. It is not uncommon that our mesothelioma attorneys provide clients with their personal cell phone numbers to address any urgent questions that the clients may have in the future.

Cases of Asbestos Exposure

Mesothelioma News

ATTENTION: Mesothelioma has no known cure and often causes severe pain, suffering, and other types of damage, such as loss of consortium, and loss of income. Additionally, due to the exceedingly high cost of mesothelioma treatments, many families exhaust savings and accumulate financial debt in order to pay for the medical expenses of their family member.

Under the law of most states, pain and suffering from mesothelioma may be compensated through the award of money damages, usually obtained with the help of experienced mesothelioma attorneys. In some states other types of damages may also be recovered.

Asbestos litigation affords mesothelioma victims the opportunity to receive financial compensation and hold accountable the companies that caused their asbestos exposure.

IMPORTANT: If you or your family member has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you should get in touch with a mesothelioma lawyer as early as possible to determine if you have a mesothelioma case and to:

  • Preserve your rights to bring a legal action against the responsible parties within the limited time frame allowed by law, known as statute of limitations;
  • Obtain maximum compensation in your case by being able to:
    • Preserve evidence and establish facts of the asbestos exposure while the claimant is still alive and able to provide information;
    • File and resolve a lawsuit against the responsible parties before they file for bankruptcy or, if they already have, to obtain compensation before their bankruptcy trust funds run out of money;
  • Expedite your case, as courts tend to give higher priority to mesothelioma lawsuits where the claimant is still alive.

NOTE: We have offices located in New York, New Jersey, California, Georgia, Washington, and Maryland. Many of our mesothelioma lawyers are licensed to practice law in a number of U.S. states and have the capability and extensive experience of representing mesothelioma clients throughout the United States. You are encouraged to contact us with any questions.

Since the 1970s, our founding partners were pioneers in championing the rights of asbestos and mesothelioma victims. In fact, Stan Levy was the first personal injury lawyer in the Northeast to pursue an asbestos case and one of the first mesothelioma attorneys in America.

Later, in 1985, he formed Levy Konigsberg with a mission to apply his extensive experience and legal knowledge to seek justice and financial compensation on behalf of asbestos and mesothelioma victims across the United States.
