Asbestos diseases attorneys don't only represent clients who have developed malignant mesothelioma - a common form of cancer that attacks the lining of the body's internal organs and that is usually caused by exposure to asbestos - and they also represent clients who have developed other asbestos-related conditions.
Although the vast majority of the diseases caused by exposure to asbestos can be classed as cancers, there is at least one that cannot be so categorized, and this condition is known as asbestosis. Asbestosis is generally described as the chronic inflammation of the lungs due to the long-term inhalation of asbestos fibers, and there is, unfortunately, no known cure for this condition. Lawyers who specialize in representing clients with asbestos-related conditions should therefore ensure that they are well versed in the legalities relating to causality regarding both asbestosis and the several types of cancer caused by exposure to asbestos.
The types of cancer that are often caused by excessive exposure to asbestos - and in respect of which asbestos diseases attorneys must have an extremely thorough knowledge - include esophageal cancer, mesothelioma, laryngeal cancer and colon cancer. Malignant mesothelioma can, furthermore, affect several different organs, and patients who develop this debilitating condition could suffer from, for instance, cancer of the lining of the heart, the lining of the lungs or the lining of the abdomen.
The primary responsibility of a firm of asbestos diseases attorneys is to determine whether or not parties who have developed either asbestosis or a form of asbestos-related cancer can sue their employers - or ex-employers - for exposing them to asbestos during the course of their employment. If it is indeed determined that the employees can sue, their attorneys will then assist with the formulation of a claim and with the calculation of damages. Although individual cases can be brought in this regard, asbestos diseases attorneys also often bring class action suits where groups of employees file suit together.
In view of the above, firms of attorneys that specialize in representing parties harmed due to long-term exposure to asbestos need to have expert knowledge in the field in order to do their best for their clients.
