“My lawyer knew what kind of a man I was and how involved I was with my job in the Navy. I felt very comfortable with them. I was watching the way they handled it — they did good.”
— Walter Twidwell, U.S. Navy Veteran With Mesothelioma
The 4 main asbestos-related diseases are lung cancer, mesothelioma, asbestosis, and pleural plaque. All asbestos-related diseases (except for pleural plaque) are life-threatening.
The only known cause of both asbestosis and mesothelioma is asbestos exposure. Lung cancer and pleural plaques can stem from asbestos and other risk factors (such as smoking).
The first signs of asbestos-related diseases include a cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain. These symptoms typically appear 10-50 years after exposure to asbestos.
If you were exposed to asbestos decades ago and are now feeling unwell, see a doctor immediately.
Thousands of people develop lung cancer each year from asbestos. The Environmental Working Group found that between 8,000 and 10,000 people die yearly from asbestos-caused lung cancer.
You’re more likely to develop lung cancer if you were exposed to asbestos and also smoked, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Diseases Registry.
Asbestos exposure can cause any type of lung cancer. This includes non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, and bronchial carcinoids.
Individual case values vary, but it’s possible to receive millions of dollars depending on the type of asbestos-related disease you have, among many other factors.
The average mesothelioma claim is worth between $1 million and $11.4 million, according to Mealey’s® Litigation Report: Asbestos.
