West Texas Mesothelioma Lawyer

Lawsuits for Injuries Caused by Asbestos

Asbestos is a fibrous mineral that was commonly used as fire-proof insulation for buildings or other structures. In recent years, most uses of asbestos were made illegal in the United States due to evidence showing that exposure to asbestos can cause cancer. Breathing in asbestos fibers can damage the lungs and lead to the lung cancer called “mesothelioma”. Even though federal regulations now govern the use of asbestos for the sake of public health, hundreds of workers in our country are still exposed to this deadly substance in the workplace. Some individuals may even be exposed in their own homes, due to living in a place that was originally constructed with asbestos.

If you or a loved one has suffered the horrific effects of asbestos exposure, our firm’s mesothelioma lawyers in West Texas can fight for the compensation you deserve. Call us today to discuss your case in a free consultation: (888) 273-1045.

What are the signs of mesothelioma?

Individuals who have been exposed to asbestos often do not develop symptoms of mesothelioma until 20-30+ years later. If you believe you may have been exposed and you notice even a hint of these mesothelioma symptoms, you should see a doctor immediately.

Symptoms of mesothelioma include:

• Heavy breathing, shortness of breath, tightness in the chest, dry cough, wheezing, etc.
• Coughing up blood
• Fatigue and/or muscle weakness
• Pain in the chest or abdomen
• Fever
• Fluid buildup around the lungs
• Weight loss and/or loss of appetite

The Texas Department of State Health estimates that more than half of the public buildings in Texas include asbestos in their structures. When asbestos is agitated, the fibers float in the air and can be inhaled by anyone in the area. Construction workers, builders, and workers at other industrial sites are particularly at risk.
