Mesothelioma Lawsuits
Mesothelioma lawsuits are becoming more and more common. Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that occurs mostly through exposure to asbestos. If someone develops this type of cancer, it’s a good bet he or she was exposed to cancer at some time in his or her past.
The cancer develops in the mesothelium. The mesothelium is the tissue that lines our organs. It lines the pleural cavity (chest area), peritoneum (abdominal cavity) and pericardium (heart cavity). Mesothelioma has a very long latency period. It takes a while for the cancer to show up - about 40-45 years and is very fatal.
