Mesothelioma is a form of cancer that deteriorates the interior organs of the body. Asbestos exposure is the most common cause of mesothelioma. Most cases of mesothelioma come as a result of jobs that involve consistent, long-term exposure. Companies like Dow Chemical and Exxon Mobile have faced lawsuits brought by their employees for mesothelioma caused by asbestos exposure while working for these companies.
Some high risk occupations include:
- Scaffold building
- Welding
- Pipe fitting
- Construction work
- Industrial work and manufacturing
- Shipbuilding
- Mining
- Plumbing
- Sheet metal work
- Cabinet making
Sadly, it doesn't always take years of high-risk work. In some cases, family members contracted mesothelioma just by washing clothes together with asbestos-exposed work uniforms.
Dealing With the Insurance Company
"If you worked for years for a company and that work exposed you to asbestos, you should not have to shoulder the financial burden of your illness alone. Your employer and its insurance company should pay for it. The lawyers of Murphy Law Firm are here to fight for the compensation you deserve. Don't be a victim twice by accepting less than what your case is worth. Call me." ∙ Attorney Peyton Murphy ∙ Contact Murphy Law Firm
