mesothelioma attorney

Mesothelioma is defined by the National Cancer Institute as: Malignant mesothelioma, a rare form of cancer, a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the sac lining the chest (the pleura), the lining of the abdominal cavity (the peritoneum) or the lining around the heart (the pericardium)". Most people with malignant mesothelioma have worked on jobs where they have breathed asbestos and/or have been exposed to asbestos in a household environment. Although rare, exposure to asbestos for a period of less than a month can result in mesothelioma years later. A mesothelioma attorney or mesothelioma lawyer may be able to get you financial compensation.
