Asbestos Related Lung Cancer

In addition to mesothelioma, asbestos exposure is known to cause other types of cancer.  Lung cancers are the most common of the asbestos related cancers.  Asbestos exposure has been proven to cause all of the major cell types of lung cancer, including small cell, large cell, adenocarcinoma and squamous cell lung cancer.  Not every instance of lung cancer is caused by asbestos exposure, but the attorneys at Martin & Jones can help determine, with the help of medical experts, whether a particular case of lung cancer was caused or contributed to by exposure to asbestos.

For workers who were exposed to asbestos, the risk of lung cancer increases with the number of asbestos fibers inhaled.  The risk of lung cancer from exposure to asbestos is also greatly increased if the worker is or was a cigarette smoker.

At Martin & Jones, we are committed to obtaining compensation for our clients who have been diagnosed with an asbestos related lung cancer.  Our attorneys have successfully represented clients who were exposed to asbestos and developed lung cancer in various types of claims, including workers' compensation claims and bankruptcy claims.

If you or a loved one worked around asbestos and have been diagnosed with asbestos related lung cancer or any other asbestos disease, please call our lawyers for a free, confidential, no obligation consultation.
