New York Asbestos Attorneys Asbestos is a toxic, naturally occurring mineral that was found in thousands of products – such as home and boat insulation, brake pads, and floor and ceiling tiles – until approximately 1980, when it was determined to cause a myriad of life-threatening asbestos exposure-related diseases, including asbestosis, lung cancer, and Mesothelioma. |

Evidence suggests that when asbestos fibers are inhaled, they get trapped in the lungs, causing scar tissue build-up and lesions. These lesions lead to difficult breathing, disease, and, too often, death.
People Affected By Asbestos • Construction workers. • Automobile repair workers Asbestos manufacturers knew about the hazards of asbestos 70 years ago, but they kept this knowledge to themselves. And, the real tragedy is that many of the injuries caused by inhaling asbestos such as lung cancer, Mesothelioma and other asbestos exposure related diseases did not show up until years, sometimes even decades, after exposure. This makes proving a causal relationship between injures and asbestos exposure a challenge. Mesothelioma Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that is almost always preceded by exposure to asbestos. In this type pf cancer, malignant cells develop in the Mesothelium, a protective lining that covers most of the body’s internal organs. Signs and Symptoms of Mesothelioma • Chest wall pain. Signs and Symptoms of Severe Mesothelioma • Blood clots in the veins, which may cause thrombophlebitis.
