Asbestos Exposure

The victims of asbestos exposure often never worked directly with the products containing asbestos fibers. The law does not require that you actually applied asbestos in order for you or a loved one to obtain compensation. All that is required is that the person who has the disease either worked with asbestos products directly or was exposed to asbestos fibers from work being done by others.

 

Asbestos exposure occurred in countless different ways and many times the person exposed did not know he or she was being exposed at the time. This is where we can help. We track down where the exposure took place and prove what products were used through documents and witnesses. The best way to picture this process is to imagine a jigsaw puzzle. It takes patience and time to put the pieces together, but you can eventually see what happened if you look in the right places. We put the pieces together to prove which product manufacturers caused a person's asbestos disease.

 

If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with mesothelioma as a result of asbestos exposure, you may be entitled to compensation.

Mesothelioma

Mesothelioma, a cancer of the lining of the lung called the "pleura," is almost always caused by inhaling asbestos fibers. Every year thousands of workers and retired workers are diagnosed with mesothelioma.  The attorneys at Martin & Jones have been helping mesothelioma victims and their families obtain asbestos disease compensation for more than two decades.  If you have been diagnosed, it is important that you speak with a mesothelioma lawyer.

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. more >
