Mesothelioma and Your Legal Rights: How Segal Law Can Help
Mesothelioma is a serious cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. This disease affects the lining of the lungs, abdomen, or heart and can take decades to develop after exposure. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma, you may be entitled to compensation. Segal Law is here to help you understand your legal options and fight for the justice you deserve.
What Causes Mesothelioma?
The main cause of mesothelioma is asbestos exposure. Asbestos is a mineral that was commonly used in construction, shipbuilding, automotive work, and manufacturing. When asbestos fibers are inhaled or swallowed, they can get stuck in the body and cause cancer over time. Many workers and their families were unknowingly exposed to asbestos in their jobs, homes, or even from second-hand contact with contaminated clothing.
Symptoms of Mesothelioma
Mesothelioma symptoms can take 20 to 50 years to appear. Some common signs include:
Shortness of breath
Chest pain
Fatigue
Unexplained weight loss
Persistent cough
Swelling in the abdomen
If you experience any of these symptoms and have a history of asbestos exposure, it is important to see a doctor right away.
