South Louisiana Asbestos Lung Injury Lawyer
If you have worked in an industry that uses, or once used, asbestos, you may have inhaled the fibers that can cause serious cancers once inside the human body. In particular, industries such as shipbuilding, boiler-making and construction, as well as many manufacturing operations, are common sources of asbestos exposure. Military personnel, especially those in the Navy, are more likely to have experienced exposure to asbestos.
How Our Law Firm Helps
At our Baton Rouge law firm, Stan F. Davis III, A Professional Law Corporation, we help people who have developed illnesses because of asbestos exposure at home or on the job. Treating asbestos-caused diseases can be very expensive. People with illnesses resulting from asbestosis exposure are often unable to work, causing great hardship for that person's family. Attorney Davis works hard to build strong cases for people who have suffered mesothelioma or asbestosis and consults extensively with medical experts and economists to determine the full cost of the disease. Our goal is to get full compensation for the client's lost wages, medical bills, and other damages and costs of the illness.
Consequences of Asbestos Exposure: Mesothelioma and Asbestosis
Asbestos exposure is serious because it can lead to an aggressive cancer called mesothelioma. This is a form of lung cancer that is frequently not found until the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, making treatment difficult. Asbestos exposure can also result in other types of lung cancer and asbestosis.
Other Causes of Asbestos Exposure
There are rare cases of mesothelioma that cannot be tied to asbestos exposure. However, a very small number of cases appear to have been caused by radiation and other mineral fibers. Such cases are very hard to prove. However, our law firm has prevailed in a challenging case of non-asbestos mesothelioma, obtaining significant compensation for our client.
