Mesothelioma Cases

A Mesothelioma Case is a lawsuit against a company that mines, manufactures, distributes or uses asbestoses. And in the process of conducting their business, people (employees, relatives, people in proximity to the use or processing of the asbestoses) are exposed to asbestoses.

For many years industries that produced and used asbestoses denied its danger to persons exposed to the mineral. Then even after it was undeniably shown that exposure to asbestoses was potentially deadly, the industries refused to warn their workers and others of this danger.

These same regulations fixed the responsibility for past exposure to asbestoses to the manufacturers and users of this material.
A Mesothelioma Case brought today does not have to prove that exposure to asbestoses is dangerous. A case today must demonstrate that the companies responsible for the exposure acted negligently in the use, handling, removal or disposal of the asbestoses.
