If you have been feeling any of these following symptoms, consider carefully what they may be pointing to. Shortness of breath, chest pains, tightness in the chest cavity, changing fingers (growing stubby on the ends), or any other fatigue that seems unnatural then you may have contracted asbestosis or the lung cancer known as mesothelioma. This is a serious matter that must not be ignored. ? Mesothelioma typically starts with the inhalation of asbestos fibers into the lungs. These fibers will remain in the lungs because there is no way of removing them or breathing them out. These asbestos fibers will begin to create malignant tissue growth within the lungs, a disease known as asbestosis. This health problem can lead, over a number of months and years, to a more serious matter known as the lung cancer called mesothelioma. Mesothelioma is a somewhat rare type of cancer, but it is very deadly, though it sometimes is not a spreading type of cancer like some other, more aggressive forms. There have been millions of deaths linked to mesothelioma in the years past and there are no signs of slowing down. Asbestos is still mined around the world and is just as deadly today as it was in the past. Asbestos exposure is the most common cause of asbestosis and mesothelioma lung cancer. If you feel like you may have any of these symptoms and you have not yet seen a doctor, that is your very first step, and one that you should take without any further delay. If you have already seen a doctor and have been diagnosed with asbestosis, lung cancer or mesothelioma, your next step beyond that may be to consult with a personal injury attorney who can help evaluate your case and see if you might be suitable to a bring lawsuit against a company that may have produced this health problem for you. This is often times the cause of the asbestos exposure and must not be ignored. If a company is responsible for you being exposed to asbestos then you must talk with a mesothelioma lawyer about what kind of rights and options you have for gaining a settlement from the company that has wronged you. It is very important and the more time you delay the more chance you have of missing your opportunity to bring a case.

Mesothelioma has received much publicity in recent years, due to the high number of lawsuits against companies involved with the use asbestos. Virtually all documented cases of mesothelioma stem from inhaling large amounts of asbestos material, and due to the prevalence of asbestos in many different applications, total compensation numbers have been staggering. So extensive were the number of lawsuits, the U.S. government has limited the amount of compensation one can receive, and also the conditions under which one can file a lawsuit. Before the U.S. government passed The Fairness in Asbestos Compensation Act in 1999, one did not need to develop any signs of mesothelioma to begin litigation. One only needed to have worked in an environment where asbestos exposure occurred. Over 200,000 cases in the Federal Courts during that year alone prompted the government action. As a result, there must be a diagnosis of mesothelioma in order to file for compensation, and punitive damages are no longer awarded. While it may seem that The Fairness in Asbestos Compensation Act was a blow to the rights of workers exposed to asbestos, in reality, it proved to be a positive for those legitimately filing to obtain compensation for mesothelioma. Because so many people were filing lawsuits where they had not actually developed mesothelioma (and therefore did not require compensation), insurance companies began to file for bankruptcy. This left those who had legitimate claims to compensation for mesothelioma without the necessary resources to fund their treatment. The reasons why mesothelioma litigation can be difficult are twofold. First, the symptoms of this particular cancer are very non-specific, and therefore many times to not prompt those afflicted to seek medical attention as soon as they should. It can take decades to develop after the initial exposure to asbestos, but after the onset of the disease, the patient's condition can deteriorate rapidly. Second, in most states, there is a specific deadline by which you must initiate litigation involving compensation for mesothelioma that begins on the day of diagnosis. Another aspect of mesothelioma compensation is often more difficult to face. When a relative of someone diagnosed with mesothelioma dies as a result of the cancer, a wrongful death lawsuit may be filed. Generally, the primary action that an attorney will perform to prove wrongful death will be interviewing fellow employees of the deceased, as well as supervisors and other people affiliated with the company that exposed him/her to asbestos. Actual figures can vary wildly, depending on factors such as length and severity of exposure to asbestos, the stage of the mesothelioma, applicable state laws, and of course the goals of the person filing the lawsuit. Generally speaking, however, compensation for mesothelioma ranges between one and three million dollars, minus a contingency fee for the attorney. This fee can, of course, vary also, but usually falls between 30% and 40% of the total compensation.
