Mesothelioma victims exposed to asbestos on the job have asbestos fibers lodged in the pleura (the lining of the lungs, known as pleural mesothelioma) or abdominal cavity (peritoneal mesothelioma). Each year another 2,500 to 4,000 mesothelioma victims are diagnosed in the U.S.

Mesothelioma is a preventable disease known to be caused by asbestos exposure. While many of the corporations that manufactured and profited from the sale of asbestos-containing products were aware of its deadly hazards, they chose to recklessly use it in products from the 1920s through the ‘70s and ‘80s. Alternative fibers were available, but asbestos was cheap and readily available.

Many manufacturers did not warn individuals about asbestos-related illnesses until the mid-60s, and the warnings they gave were inadequate. The result is that many Americans have tragically contracted mesothelioma, lung cancer, other cancers and asbestosis, a scarring of the lung or pleural tissue.

Large mesothelioma settlements are associated with many asbestos lawsuits, and they are not accidental. Jurors in mesothelioma trials often impose punitive damages for the negligent actions of corporations who sold hazardous asbestos products or allowed people to work in buildings that contained asbestos.
